Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: What is music licensing?

Answer:
Music licensing is the process of licensing, or negotiating permission, to use an existing piece of music. The "license" is a document that is created to document the terms and conditions that are negotiated.

Question: Can the Office conduct a search for an applicant?

Answer:
No. After a trademark application is filed, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will conduct a search of the records as part of the official examination process.

Question: How do I find out whether the mark I’ve chosen is already registered?

Answer:
It is strongly suggested that you search federally registered trademarks and service marks, since a federally registered mark generally preempts a state issued registration.
