注冊(cè)美國(guó)商標(biāo)時(shí)必需提交的一項(xiàng)主要資料就是商標(biāo)名稱，數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在注冊(cè)美國(guó)商標(biāo)時(shí)，很多人都是卡在商標(biāo)名稱這一環(huán)節(jié)。

美國(guó)專利商標(biāo)局對(duì)商標(biāo)名稱的審查非常嚴(yán)厲，很多標(biāo)記和名稱是制止注冊(cè)的，比如與某國(guó)國(guó)旗、國(guó)徽、軍旗等名稱或圖案相似及雷同的文字或圖形，再比如帶有民族輕視含義或帶有丑化貶低特定民族含義相似及雷同的文字或圖形等。關(guān)于這方面內(nèi)容我們?cè)?strong>《請(qǐng)注意，這些東西不能注冊(cè)美國(guó)商標(biāo)》一文中已經(jīng)介紹過(guò)了，這里不再贅述。

正因很多東西不能注冊(cè)美國(guó)商標(biāo)，我們?cè)诮o商標(biāo)命名以及提交美國(guó)商標(biāo)注冊(cè)申請(qǐng)資料時(shí)必定要格外注意這些方面的內(nèi)容。下面我們來(lái)看看美國(guó)專利商標(biāo)局在美國(guó)商標(biāo)名稱方面有哪些規(guī)定和請(qǐng)求。

1、Disclaimer: Enter descriptive, generic, or otherwise non-distinctive wording or elements. A disclaimer is a statement that the applicant or registrant does not claim the exclusive right to use a specified element or elements of the mark in a trademark application or registration. The purpose of a disclaimer is to permit the registration of a mark that is registrable as a whole but contains matter that would not be registrable standing alone. See

If it appears that the word(s), letter(s), or numeral(s) may have significance, particularly to someone unfamiliar with the specific usage of the word(s), letter(s), or numeral(s), but in reality the usage is only as a trademark, applicant should indicate that there is no significance in the relevant trade or industry or as applied to the goods and/or services listed in the application, no geographical significance, and no meaning in a foreign language.

商標(biāo)名稱中字母、數(shù)字、的含義：如果商標(biāo)中的文字、字母、或數(shù)字與該商標(biāo)所注冊(cè)的商品或服務(wù)所在行業(yè)有接洽，申請(qǐng)人應(yīng)當(dāng)解釋該含義。

In addition, attach a .jpg or .pdf file showing the actual consent of the named individual to the use and registration of his or her name. Click on the second circle if the mark includes a name(s), portrait(s), and/or signature(s), but this does NOT identify a particular living person. Note: In a TEAS Plus application, the applicant must provide the appropriate information regarding consent, if applicable under the facts of the application.

人的姓名、肖像、簽名：如果商標(biāo)中含有活著的自然人的人名、肖像、簽名需附上該自然人贊成將其作為商標(biāo)來(lái)注冊(cè)的贊成書。
