The products and services for U.S. trademark registration are selected according to the Nice classification. The Nice Classification is an international classification of goods and services for the purposes of the registration of marks, established by the Nice Agreement (1957). It is divided into 45 categories, 1 34 for product categories and 35 45 for service categories.

I believe that for many domestic enterprises, it is an important step to go to the United States to develop a brand to the international market, and there are also many companies that have gone to the United States to develop their business, so the registration of the American trademark is particularly important, which can escort the stable development of the enterprise! A trademark is an intangible asset whose value can be assessed. Its value can be realized by transferring, licensing to others, or pledge.
So, what types of trademarks can be registered in the United States?
1. Before filing an application for trademark registration, if the trademark has been used in the United States, the application must be submitted with proof of use, the date of the first use of the trademark in the world (any country), and the date of the first use of the trademark in the United States. In the future, after the trademark application is approved, the application can be registered directly at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
2. If the trademark has not been used in the United States at present, but intends to be used in the United States in the future, then the applicant can file the relevant application for registration in the form of intending to use or preparing to use (intend to use). After the trademark application is approved, the applicant needs to submit the relevant proof of use within six months. If, at the end of the six-month period, the applicant is still unable to provide the required information, the applicant may request a reguest for an extension from the PTO.
The request for an extension of time limit must be made before the expiration of the six-month period, otherwise the trademark application will be treated as an automatic abandon. The request for extension of the above time limit can be made five times in succession, each time for a period of six months, and the fee required for the extension must be paid to the Trademark Office.
3. If the trademark applicant claims the priority of the Chinese application, then it is necessary to file the relevant application with the U.S. Trademark Office within six months from the Chinese filing date, and provide the corresponding Chinese filing date and application number. However, the PTO must be provided with proof of foreign registration at a later date. Thus, after the approval of the trademark application, the applicant can directly register the trademark in the PTO without providing proof of use in the United States.
However, there is also a certain risk of this type of application, if the corresponding Chinese application is rejected, and even if the US application is approved, the applicant will not be able to register his trademark in the PTO because he cannot provide a Chinese trademark registration certificate. The case will only be considered an abandon.
4. If the trademark has been registered in other countries and intends to be used in the United States in the future, a certified copy of foreign registration certificate must be submitted with the application. After the trademark application is approved, it can be registered without providing a certificate of use to the PTO.
To register a U.S. company, you must remember to renew your trademark in a timely manner to protect the exclusive right to use the trademark and escort the development of the enterprise!
