Statement of Use

This is the final step to register your trademark!

Your application has been initially approved but before registration is issued you have to show proof/evidence that you are using the trademark with the goods/services you applied for.

When you filed your trademark, it was based on “Intent to Use” — meaning you planned to use your brand but hadn’t started yet.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Provide a Specimen/Evidence:

  • This would be a photo or link to your goods/services showing your brand name exactly as it appears on your product, packaging, website, or marketing materials.

  • For example: a clothing tag or a product label attached to your product, or a screenshot of your functioning online store, etc.

  • Products that are out of stock, or websites that say ‘Coming Soon’ do not work.

  • For more details: Trademark Specimens

• Submit payment for the proper amount of classes
