[@alfs3]

Andrei, such great information - thanks again for putting out these in-depth videos!

[@trademarkfactory]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful!

Andrei, I will take a break after this video. Since I found your channel I am in some marathon learning more and more! I love your channel! Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, Paula. I'm wondering if you'd find even more value in the course that I put out at learn.trademarkfactory.com You're welcome to use promo code *ytlive* to get 75% off while the deal lasts.

What if I added the terms on the actual government trademark register of approved class words. I'm registering a UK trademark that has about 7 different classes which has some product classes and service classes

[@trademarkfactory]

Yes, using the wording from the preapproved list reduces the risks.

At 6:40 you talk about reponding to office actions and being a US citizen. Do you need a US attourney to respond to office actions if you used the madrid protocol i.e. filed my own Canadian application and want to use Madrid for USA application.

[@trademarkfactory]

Yes you do. Check out the official document from the USPTO that clarifies it: www.wipo.int/edocs/madrdocs/en/2019/madrid_2019_52.pdf In other words, while you do not need a U.S. attorney to FILE a Madrid application that designates the U.S. as one of the countries, you do need one if there is a provisional refusal (office action), opposition, or if you need to file the maintenance statement of use. Hope this helps.

What do you think the odds are of a successful appeal to a rejection of a trademark application [hypothetical example]: "Gather Together" (which was rejected) because there is an existing trademark of "Americans Gather Together". Could this be successfully appealed?

[@trademarkfactory]

Intellectual property, and trademarks in particular, are very fact specific, so hypothetical examples may not be overly useful. In your case, I would give it maybe a 20% chance (because you'd have an argument that in Americans Gather Together is a weak trademark where "gather" describes a state of things whereas in your 2-word phrase "gather" acts as a command. Either way, it would be an uphill climb and we would not be recommending our clients to move forward with such a trademark.
