Please click on the following to access a form for:

Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for either a trademark (used or intended to be used for goods) OR a Servicemark (used or intended to be used in providing a service). If you use this application to file based on a "bona fide intent to use" the mark some time in the future, i.e., the applicant has not actually used the mark yet in commerce, but can claim in good faith that it plans to do so later, you must also file a second form (the Statement of Use/ Amendment to Allege Use) before we can register the mark (even though otherwise approved based on the information in the original Trademark/Servicemark application).

NOTE: The filing fee is $335.00 per class of goods and/or services (i.e., if an application is for one mark, but the mark is used on goods and/or services in two different classes, e.g., computer software in Class 9 and t-shirts in Class 25, then the overall filing fee is $670.00--- $335.00 x 2 classes). Only one mark is permissible per application, although a mark may consist of several elements that are joined to form a composite whole (e.g., words plus a design). Also, the filing fee is a processing fee for the application. This fee is NOT returned even if ultimately the USPTO does not issue a registration. You should take all necessary steps to ensure the mark is registrable before filing the application.

Trademark/Servicemark BLANK Application, Principal Register
(A downloadable blank form, for use by experienced parties who file multiple applications, to create standard templates containing repetitive information)
Use this version of the Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register, only if you plan to do multiple filings; otherwise, please use the regular form, above. Before creating and using the blank form, please note the following: 1) each slight variation of an application will require creation of its own unique blank form; i.e., a blank form for filing under Section 1(b) in one class will require one form; 1(b) in two classes a different form; 1(b) and 44(d) in one class a third form; etc. You cannot create one "master" form to handle all types of applications; and 2) any time that the USPTO must change the version of TEAS currently posted on the site (e.g., due to improvements to the forms themselves, etc.), all portable forms previously created using any prior version of TEAS will be obsolete, requiring creation of new forms using the later edition of TEAS.

NOTE: The Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register, is the only form for which the downloadable blank form option currently exists.

Trademark/Servicemark Application, Supplemental Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a trademark/servicemark on the Supplemental Register, rather than the Principal Register. Almost all marks are filed directly on the Principal Register. However, certain marks that are not eligible for registration on the Principal Register, but which are capable of distinguishing an applicant's goods or services, may be registered on the Supplemental Register. If you file on the Principal Register, but are only eligible for the Supplemental Register, you will be permitted to amend the application to change registers during the prosecution of the application.

NOTE: The filing fee is $335.00 per class of goods and/or services (i.e., if an application is for one mark, but the mark is used on goods and/or services in two different classes, e.g., computer software in Class 9 and t-shirts in Class 25, then the overall filing fee is $670.00--- $335.00 x 2 classes). Only one mark is permissible per application, although a mark may consist of several elements that are joined to form a composite whole (e.g., words plus a design). Also, the filing fee is a processing fee for the application. This fee is NOT returned even if ultimately the USPTO does not issue a registration. You should take all necessary steps to ensure the mark is registrable before filing the application.

2.	This form uses pop-up windows to display critical information. To use this site properly, you must disable any existing pop-up filters (through either anti-virus software or a pop-up killer program).
3.	Before filing an application requesting registration on the Supplemental Register, or amending to the Supplemental Register, you must be lawfully using the mark in commerce, on or in connection with the goods and services (unlike an application on the Principal Register, which may be based on an intent to use the mark in the future, under §(b) of the Trademark Act). The only exception from the use requirement in seeking registration on the Supplemental Register is for applications based solely on §4 of the Trademark Act (i.e., based on a foreign application and/or registration).

Certification Mark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a Certification mark (used or intended to be used by authorized persons on designated goods and/or services to certify something; e.g., a particular regional origin of the goods; a characteristic of the goods or services; or that labor was performed by a particular group). A copy of standards that the applicant uses or will use to determine whether the goods and/or services will be certified must be submitted.

Collective Membership Mark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a collective membership mark (used to indicate membership in a specific organization; e.g., a social club or labor union). The applicant must control, or will intend to control, use of the mark by its members by a specified method of control.

Collective Trademark/Servicemark Application, Principal Register
Use this form to file an initial application for a collective trademark/servicemark. The applicant must control, or will intend to control, use of the mark by its members by a specified method of control.

Transformation into a National Application (currently not available)
The holder of an international registration may use this form to request transformation of its extension of protection to the United States into an application for registration under Section 1 and/or Section 44 of the Trademark Act, if the international registration was cancelled (in whole or in part) by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization under Article 6(4) of the Madrid Protocol, due to the cancellation of the basic application or registration. The request for transformation must be filed within three months of the date of cancellation of the international registration.

NOTE: The holder must pay an application filing fee of $335.00 for each class of goods/services identified in the request for transformation.
