Trademark

Instructions on how to navigate the USPTO Trademark Databases

When applying for a trademark, an applicant may face complications such as an application rejection due to various reasons. A “confusingly similar” rejection is issued when “the trademark examiner believes that there is a likelihood of confusion between your trademark and the mark of another,” whether a registered or pending mark (“BitLaw Guidance”).

The significance of identifying “confusing similarity” in a trademark is to prevent confusion by the public between marks and their goods and services provided.
