Making A Trademark Drawing

The pixel range should be approximately 2400 X 2400 pixels, in any direction and scanned at 300 DPI. The overall size of any attachment cannot exceed 2 megabytes in jpg format.

Be very careful NOT to confuse the images and attach an image meant to be a specimen as the mark image, because in most instances this cannot be cured through an amendment, since it would be considered a "material alteration" of the mark as filed.

You must show how you are actually using the mark in commerce. For goods, acceptable specimens would consist of scanned or digitally photographed tags, labels, instruction manuals, or containers that show the mark on the goods or packaging.

Invoices, announcements, order forms, bills of lading, leaflets, brochures, publicity releases and other printed advertising material generally are not acceptable specimens for goods.

Examples of acceptable service mark specimens are signs, photographs, brochures or advertisements that show the mark used in the sale or advertising of the services.

If the goods and/or services are classified in more than one international class, one specimen must be provided for each class.

If color is being claimed as a feature of the mark, then the specimen must be in color. The specimen should be scanned in a manner that permits clear and legible printing on an 81/2" x 11" sheet of paper before being attached to the form.
