Frequently asked questions
A Trademark 2.0, or NFT Trademark, stands for Non-Fungible Token Trademark.
A Non-Fungible Token is a manner of storing data on a public blockchain that can never be altered or amended. The blockchain is a public record that secures data at a specific point in time that can never be altered or amended.
As such, an NFT Trademark is a manner of securing your trademark on a publicly accessible blockchain in the form of an NFT.
One of the greatest misconceptions about trademarks is that they must be registered with the USPTO. They don’t!
Under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), unregistered trademarks (e.g., NFT Trademarks) have virtually the same protections as trademarks registered with the USPTO. You have rights in them just like a registered trademark. They can be enforced just like a registered trademark. How?
Under U.S. law, you acquire rights in a trademark when you (1) begin use of a trademark AND (2) your trademark is otherwise protectable (i.e., is not merely descriptive (e.g., trying to use SHOES as your trademark for your line of shoes)). The USPTO primarily focuses on (2). But an NFT Trademark records your trademark’s use on the blockchain, a record that cannot be altered or amended, thus recording your use, the (1) requirement of trademark rights.
So while the USPTO focuses on (2), our Trademark 2.0 provides you with proof of use of your trademark, verified on the blockchain or public digital register, satisfying the main critical component of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), namely verified use of your trademark at a set point in time.
Yes.
Under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) a Trademark 2.0 protected as an NFT can be enforced in virtually the same way as a USPTO registered trademark. And with the proliferation statutes currently pending and passed before state legislatures, we believe that NFT Trademarks with their verified use on the blockchain will be easier to enforce then their USPTO counterparts.
In a word: No Government Fees! OK, so that’s actually three words but you get the point. Depending on a variety of factors, the USPTO charges hundreds of dollars to file for a trademark. By comparison, minting fees on the blockchain, those fees paid to the independent verification system known as blockchain miners, are far more reasonable and are absorbed by The Trademark Company as part of your NFT Trademark packages.
Nope.
Once your order is received and all information and documentation needed, your NFT Trademark will be minted on the blockchain securing the use of your trademark.
