Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Can a minor file a trademark application?

Answer:
This depends upon state law. If the person can validly enter into binding legal obligations in the state, then that person may sign a trademark application. Otherwise, a parent or legal guardian must sign the application, clearly setting forth their status as a parent or legal guardian of the applicant

Question: Do I need to translate my trademarks into a foreign language?

Answer:
No. When translating text/documents into another language, the trademark doesn’t need to be translated. Often there is no literal translation of the term, and the significance of the trademark is not how it translates.

Question: How do I avoid expensive conflicts over trademarks on the Internet?

Answer:
Before a domain registration, be sure to do a Trademark Search, especially if it concerns fantasy names or a composite name derived from fantasy names.
