What do I need to include in my trademark application?

Question: What do I need to include in my trademark application?

Answer:

• A completed trademark application form submitted in hard copy or electronically. Get an application form online with TEAS.
• The appropriate fee.
• A drawing of the mark to be registered - this is true even if the mark is just an unstylized word.
• A specimen of use of the mark if the trademark application is based on actual use in commerce.

Paper trademark applications and any accompanying communications or material should be addressed to:

Commissioner for Trademarks
P.O. Box 1451
