How do I register a trademark?

A trademark registration may be applied for by filing a properly executed application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). You may access the trademark forms at USPTO’s website:

http://www.uspto.gov/web/forms/index.html

You may file your application using TEAS – the Trademark Electronic Application System. TEAS allows you to fill out an application form and check it for completeness over the Internet, paying by credit card, electronic funds transfer or through an existing USPTO deposit account. Or using PrinTeas, you can print out the completed application for mailing to the USPTO, paying by check, money order, through an existing USPTO deposit account, or by credit card, using the credit card form. The credit card form is available at Forms, USPTO

For additional information regarding trademarks, you may contact the USPTO Contact Center (UCC) and request to be transferred to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC). TAC representatives are available Monday through Friday (except federal holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
