Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: I want to complain about a company. Can I use their name and logo?

Answer:
Yes. While trademark law prevents you from using someone else's trademark to sell your competing products, it doesn't stop you from using the trademark to refer to the trademark owner or its products.

Question: How long does a trademark last?

Answer:
Rights in a federally-registered trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark on or in connection with the goods and/or services in the registration and files all necessary documentation.

Question: Can a fax copy or photocopy of an application be filed?

Answer:
You cannot transmit an application by means of facsimile transmission, i.e., by "faxing" it to the Office, but you can file a photocopy or a fax copy by U.S. mail or hand delivery.
