is there a Federal form to apply for a trademark.?
By Yahoo User • Category: Trademarks ApplicationI have an application to register for trade name trademark or service mark from the state of Louisana and I’am trying to find outif a Federal form is also needed.
I think there is a Federal Trademark office. You might find an attorney to make sure you get it done correctly.

Go the Patent and Trademark site at:www.uspto.gov and get the form.U can also apply online.:-)Best wishes
To register a trademark, that’s done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent & Trademark Office for a Federal trademark.If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US & any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you’re interested in is truly available.This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
