DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "PROTECTION PROGRAM - $135.00" SERVICE
AND REGISTRATION WITH THE USPTO
In the U.S., trademark law is based on the common law concept of "first use". Using the Protection Program - $135.00
Service, an owner can use a TM or SM to protect the name, logo, slogan, etc. on business goods or services
offered across state lines. The owner is entitled to use the federal courts to enforce the rights of
exclusive use of the trademark or service mark.
In many cases after being successful with the use of the trademark or service mark in selling products or
services, an owner will want to take the next step and register the mark with the US Patent & Trademark
Office. Because an infringement lawsuit is the only way, ultimately, to enforce trademark or service mark
ownership, registration makes it a lot easier to win a federal lawsuit against later users.
Registration establishes a presumption that anyone using the mark later is infringing on the owner's
rights, which makes it easier to collect large damage and attorneys fees. Registration also puts the
trademark or service mark into the Federal trademark database, so that it will appear in name searches,
notifying people that this mark is taken and cannot be used by later users.
UNIFORM DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has developed new domain name dispute guidelines
to protect the rights of trademark owners using the Internet. The applicant for a domain name is
required to provide accurate contact information, including name, address, and phone number, to enable
a trademark owner to contact this person in the case of a domain name dispute. In addition, the applicant
must submit to the jurisdiction of a particular court in a dispute. Basically, if a trademark owner wants
a domain name to match the trademark, the non-trademark party can lose the domain name. If a company using
a trademark "XYZ" wants Internet presence and another company has been using the domain name "XYZ.com",
the party using "XYZ.com" without trademark protection may lose the domain name.
