What specimens can I submit for a service based trademark?

First of all you are taking a big risk by filing by yourself. For example, how do you know is a 1(a) or 1(b) basis, how do you know if you have to "disclaim" a portion of your trademark? How do you know if your mark is registrable at all? Are your registering a "good" or a "service"?, the evidence requirements are different. Did you do a search, is your trademark descriptive, (does it described the goods or services), etc. There a many questions that should be asked before you register a trademark, and this is better done by a professional. Many clients come to my office after they have done a mistake in the trademark application. Once the application has been filed, you might lose the money, time and some the errors that you commit night be irreversible. Well, assume that you have done everything right and that you have a registrable trademark, then the specimens for a "service" are: - advertising (radio, newspapers, magazines) an invoice will suffice. - flyers (a copy) - website (a printout) This will serve as proof of use in interstate commerce (cross-state boundaries) - coupons - receipts Good luck.
