Other Similar Law Terms:
Legal Term Register, Supplemental is The Supplemental Register is a secondary list of registered marks maintained by the USPTO. Marks on the Supplemental Register do not qualify for registration on the Principal Register, and as such, these marks do not receive the many benefits of registration available on the Principle Register. However, registration on the Supplemental Register allows the mark owner to use the symbol next to their mark, and also provides notice to potential users of the mark that it is already being used. Typically, Supplemental Register marks are those that are registered in foreign countries but not yet used in the United States, and those that are not descriptive. Once a mark becomes distinctive through extensive use, or has been on the Supplemental Register for five years, the mark owner may petition to have it removed to the Principal Register.Legal Term Guardian is An individual legally appointed to manage the rights and/or property of a person incapable of taking care of his or her own affairs.
Legal Term Plaintiff is The party that institutes a law suit in a court.
Legal Term Intent to Use (ITU) application is An application for a federal registration made to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a trademark that is not yet being used. ITU applications secure trademark rights prior to actually using the mark. It allows companies the opportunity to see if the USPTO will register the mark without having to invest in the marketing and promotion of the mark in the event the mark is rejected. It also secures an early priority date (normally a priority date is not set until actual use).
Legal Term TRUST AGREEMENT or DECLARATION is The legal document that sets up a living trust. Testamentary trusts are set up in a will.
