marks, and certification marks.
Individuals and businesses who use
their marks, or intend to use their

Congress may file an application with

Registered marks remain on the register
indefinitely, so long as the owner of the
registration files the necessary
maintenance documents.

submissions required by the regulations
at 37 CFR part 2 for initial applications
regarding the registration of trademarks,

which the mark is used, ownership
information, dates of use, and certain
other information. The USPTO also
provides similar information concerning
pending applications. The register and
