Trademark Your Clothing Line



Trademark Your Clothing Line
   

The first subject should definitely be explaining what branches of intellectual property are available for the various items that typically make up a clothing line.

Copyrights, specifically a Visual Art Works filing:

Any artwork/images displayed on the garments themselves, e.g. front of a t-shirt Fabric designs Patterns for sewing Weaving or lace designs Trademarks:

The name of your clothing line The logo for your clothing line If you're filing for the trademark as In Use, the USPTO also requires that a specimen be submitted. This is a real-world example of how the mark is used & how your consumers see it.

When it comes to clothing, the best thing to send to the USPTO is either a tag or a label. This makes it clear that the name and/or logo is being used for a clothing line. The USPTO will no longer accept a picture of a, for instance, t-shirt with the name appearing only on the front. Those days are over. Your specimen can be a tag that's attached to the garment, such as a hang tag, or it can be a tag that's sewn into the garment.
