Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: What is the drawing?

Answer:
The "drawing" is a page which depicts the mark or logo applicant seeks to register. In an application based on actual use, the drawing must show the mark as it is actually used, i.e., as shown by the specimens.

Question: Are there federal regulations governing the use of the designations "TM" or "SM" with trademarks?

Answer:
No. Use of the symbols "TM" or "SM" (for trademark and service mark, respectively) may, however, be governed by local, state, or foreign laws and the laws of the pertinent jurisdiction must be consulted.

Question: Can a minor file a trademark application?

Answer:
This depends upon state law. If the person can validly enter into binding legal obligations in the state, then that person may sign a trademark application. Otherwise, a parent or legal guardian must sign the application.
