Logos, USPTO Style
This post inspired me to talk a bit about how the USPTO classifies logos.
The USPTO designates six digit coded numbers for each & every logo that's submitted. And, boy, do they get specific. Let's take a look at some examples:
020315: Women wearing scarves on their heads
This logo is registered to Duncan Sutherland who is using this logo in connection with skin care services & products.
Most logos are going to have more than one coding and this mark is no different: 020322, busts of women in profile; 020324, women depicted in caricature form; and, 261101, rectangles.
040525: Other mythological or legendary animals
This interesting logo is owned by Stone Brewing Co. for clothing. Of course, this logo is also coded for beer steins, 110302.
160108: Telephones
Sam Chiodo owns this logo for concierge services & is also coded with 021107: arms, fingers, hands, etc.; 090312: gloves; 110325: serving trays
By looking at just 3 examples, you can see how detailed the process is when filing for a trademark on your logo.
When having a logo search done, it's absolutely a priority that the correct design codes are searched.
If you've got a logo & are wondering what codes apply to you, let me know, shannon@tmexpress.com
