Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: What is the trademark owner's perspective on the treaty?

Answer:
The TLT saves time and money in the preparation and filing of documents for the application. It streamlines the process for post-registration renewals, recording assignments, changes of name and address, and powers of attorney.

Question: What kind of marks may not be registered?

Answer:
A person may not register a mark that is deceptive, immoral, or scandalous. Also, trademarks related to a belief, an individual, an institution or a national symbol are not permitted.

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.
