Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Are there any restrictions from trademarking a product name that contains Spanish words?

Answer:
The same laws and rules apply to marks in languages other than English. Other than those requirements, a non-English mark would have to be translated for the record.

Question: Do I need a license to sample a track?

Answer:
Yes, you must obtain a clearance, or copyright license, for every sample that you use in your recordings. You can get a license from the copyright owner directly and negotiate a fee.

Question: How different does one trademark have to be from another?

Answer:
After an application is filed, the assigned examining attorney will search the USPTO records to determine if a conflict exists between the mark in the application and another mark that is registered or pending in the USPTO.
