As noted in this post, U.S. design patents usually need to be filed within 6 months of a foreign priority application. This is because many foreign design registration systems grant design registration almost immediately, guaranteeing that the registration will be granted before your U.S. design patent application is filed and implicating 35 U.S.C. 102(d) (see also MPEP 1504.02). Thus if you wait longer than 6 months from your foreign design registration, you will lose the right to get a U.S. design patent. So what if you miss the deadline? What are your options? Well, you can try to shoehorn your design into one of the other kinds of IP protection: copyright, trademark, or utility patent protection. You might also consider relying on unfair competition law to protect you. I will address each of these four alternatives to design patent protection in turn.

1. Unfair Competition

In European countries, the laws of unfair competition might be sufficient to protect you from competitors seeking to copy your designs. Some European countries have laws of "slavish imitation" for example, which protect you against exact duplication of products, even if not protected by IP. However, in the U.S. such laws are very limited in scope. They are also state laws, which vary from state to state. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that copying a public domain (unprotected) design cannot in itself be the basis for a claim of unfair competition. There would have to be something more suggesting that the competitor was trying to pass itself off as your company. Essentially, you would have to show that your competitor was actually impersonating you. So unfair competition laws would be a last resort if you had no other options

2. Copyrights

Usually when an overseas client missed a date for a design patent filing, the first alternative they think of is copyright protection. However, copyright protection is frequently unavailable because copyrights do not protect functional objects. Even if there are artistic elements to a functional object, they have to be physically or conceptually separable to be copyright protected, which is a higher standard than it may seem. Basically, if the artistic part can be removed form the rest of the object, or if the design is a carving or graphic design that could be placed on any medium, not just the functional object, it probably can be protected by copyright. But even if your functional object looks really cool and could be considered a sculpture, it probably is not going to pass muster. Copyright protection is a good alternative if available, as it is inexpensive ($35 government filing fee) and pretty fast (6-12 months) and lasts a long time (95 years for corporations). However, copyrights only protect against copying, not independent development- you have to show access to your design to prove copyright infringement.

3. Utility Patents

If the design has a function and is new and nonobvious, you may be able to get a utility patent for it. The downside of utility patents is that they are expensive and take a long time to be granted. The plus side is that they protect the function of your design, not just the appearance, and can have a very broad scope of protection. They last for 20 years from filing and protect against independent development, unlike copyrights. However, utility patent protection is often unavailable (due to lack kof functionality) or impractical due to the expense.

4. Trademarks / Trade Dress

Of course even if you cannot protect your new design, you can brand your products and protect those brands with trademarks. However, your design itself may be protected as a trademark under U.S. law as trade dress. Generally both a product's shape and configuration and a product or service's "packaging" can be protected in this way. Service "packaging" might include the appearance of a restaurant or the like. Registering trade dress as a trademark is more difficult than for other trademarks like business names and logos. A product configuration is never considered inherently distinctive, so it must either be registered on the Supplemental Register or you must prove distinctiveness through long and continuous use, advertising expenditures, actual advertisements showing that the trade dress is emphasized, survey evidence showing recognition by customers, and ultimately an association between your business and the product configuration in the minds of consumers. A design must be in use to be amended to the Supplemental Register. The Supplemental Register does not grant any special legal strength beyond common law trademark rights but does allow you to sue in federal court and does prevent others from registering an identical mark, and also allows you to use the registration symbol ®. Packaging can be inherently distinctive, but this is more difficult to show than for other marks. You also have the option of showing acquired distinctiveness as for product configuration. Trademark protection lasts indefinitely as long as you continue using the mark and paying the renewal fees. It protects against confusingly similar marks used by others, whether deliberately copied or not. Expense is reasonable, as is the time to grant. Often, trademark protection is the best available alternative to design patent protection.

Trademarks protect branding- things like your business name and your logo that you put on your products so that your customers know they are not knock-offs or imitations. For a really big business, a brand is worth big bucks and the cost of a trademark registration is small in comparison. So for a big company it is a no brainer to register all their branding- business name, logos, slogans, even names of individual product lines. But smaller businesses are often working on a limited budget. The benefits of trademark registration are not so obviously greater than the cost of registration, which can be close to a thousand dollars, depending on the difficulty of registering the trademark and the law firm used. So, many business owners decide that they want to limit their registration to a single trademark, and are left with a decision between registering their business name and their logo.

Registering Your Business Name as a Trademark

Usually, I recommend registering your business name if you are only going to register one trademark. A business name should be registered with a "standard character claim," meaning that your registration covers your name regardless of the font, case, and any stylistic or graphic elements used. This gives you broad protection and prevents an infringer from claiming no confusion would be likely because its mark uses a different font, etc. Registering your business name with a standard character claim protects you against any use of the name, inside or outside of a logo or design. And for many businesses, their name is the most important thing to protect. After all, your name is what people use when discussing or referring your business to others. And if your logo is minimalist, the other visual elements may not be that memorable anyway. The downside of trademarking your business name alone is that it offers no protection for the design elements of your logo. You still may have common-law rights to your logo, but you would lack the important benefits of trademark registration. Another business could begin using a similar logo with a different business name, and that could be difficult for you to stop.

Registering Your Logo as a Trademark

The advantage of registering your logo is that it protects both the design elements of your logo and your business name (assuming that your logo incorporates your business name). However, there are many disadvantages. For one thing, your protection for your name will be somewhat weakened. Another business seeking to register a logo with a similar name can argue that confusion would be unlikely because of the design differences between the two marks. Such an argument can succeed, particularly if your business name might be considered descriptive of the business you are in. I have successfully made such arguments, and even have advised clients that they could get around a third-party registration if they registered their brand with a certain stylization or design element. Another potential problem is that logos can change over the years. Even the largest corporations rebrand once in a while. When your logo changes, your old logo trademark registration goes out the window. Now you have to file a new registration for your new logo. Your old registration, if it was in use for five years, may have become incontestable, greatly strengthening it in legal disputes. Your new registration will not be.

Register Your Business Name - Usually

For the above reasons, I usually recommend that my clients register their business names if they only want to file one registration. An exception might be if their name could run into a conflict that their logo would have a better chance of avoiding, or if the design element of their logo is critical or especially distinctive. However, even if you really like and want to protect the design element of your logo, I would strongly suggest looking into registering both your logo and your business name alone. If you have any questions about the costs vs. benefits, I would be happy to help you answer them!

A typical trademark application takes about 7 months from filing to the issuing of a registration certificate (as of 2011) if the application does not run into any problems. An application with any issues is likely to take longer, more like 12-18 months, which is the estimate the Trademark Office gives. Compared to patent applications, where applicants will sometimes have to wait four years for anything to happen, this is lightning quick action. However, it is still a long time for many business owners who would like some certainty before entering the marketplace with a new brand. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to speed up the examination of your trademark applications? Well there is, but it can be taken advantage of only in limited situations.

Trademark Application Request to Make Special

Sometimes a trademark owner or trademark attorney slips up and allows a registration to expire inadvertently, by failing to file a declaration of continued use or renewal by a deadline. In those circumstances, the only remedy is to file a new application for the expired trademark registration. However, while the application is pending, the expired mark will not be registered. The owner will be unable to use the ® symbol or take advantage of the other benefits of registration, such as federal court. An owner of an established brand would really like to have that registration back now, not in 7 months or more. Fortunately, new applications for registrations that have expired inadvertently will be made special at the request of the applicant under TMEP § 702.02. After the application is filed, a request to make special can be filed electronically at no cost and the application will be accelerated to the front of the line automatically. This reduces the time to registration by at least about three months.

Trademark Application Petition to Make Special

A petition to make special under TMEP § 1710 can be filed for any trademark application after it has been filed. A petition to make special must be accompanied by a $100 fee (as of the date of this post), an explanation of why special action is requested, and a statement of facts supported by an affidavit or declaration that shows that special action is justified. Essentially, you have to show that you have a real need to get a registration quickly beyond the need that every trademark owner has to get on with business. Reasons that are typically accepted include the existence of actual or threatened trademark infringement, pending litigation, or the need for a registration as a basis for securing a foreign trademark registration. While these will not apply to every applicant, they are common enough that brand managers and trademark attorneys should be aware of the option and requirements. A granted petition to make special will accelerate a trademark application just like a request to make special, reducing the time to registration substantially.

In many instances, you may want a competitor or potential competitor's application for a trademark registration to be refused by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). However, trademark examinations are ex parte- strictly between the applicant and the Examining Attorney assigned to the application. Third parties are not allowed to communicate with the Examining Attorney, even if there is an obvious basis for the application to be refused, such as a conflict with an existing registration or if the mark is clearly descriptive. An application can be opposed or canceled after it is approved, but such proceedings are essentially litigation, with high costs and long delays. Fortunately, the USPTO allows for an end-run around the ex parte restriction with a seldom-used and poorly known mechanism, the Letter of Protest.

Letters of Protest

A letter of protest allows a third party to submit evidence that a trademark application should be refused to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy (“Deputy Commissioner”). The Deputy Commissioner then decides whether to grant the letter of protest, in which case the evidence is forwarded on to the Examining Attorney for consideration. Because you never have direct contact with the Examining Attorney and the information is coming from the Deputy Commissioner, the integrity of the ex parte examination process is not compromised. See MPEP § 1715. The letter of protest satisfies the public interest in avoiding the registration of trademarks, which should have been refused, due to human error on the part of an individual trademark examiner.

What Can and Cannot be the Basis for a Letter of Protest?

A letter of protest can be based on, for example:

Descriptiveness/Genericity: An allegation that a trademark is merely descriptive or generic, with accompanying objective evidence
Likelihood of Confusion: Notification of an existing trademark registration or prior-pending application and an allegation of likelihood of confusion between this mark and the mark in the application that is being protested
Pending Litigation: Pending litigation exists that claims infringement based on the applicant’s use of the applied-for mark

A letter of protest cannot be based on arguments alone (without supporting objective evidence) or on any evidence that a Trademark Examining Attorney cannot ordinarily consider in the course of an ex parte examination. For example, an Examining Attorney would not ordinarily consider evidence relating to another party's earlier use (as opposed to registration or application) of the trademark or proper ownership of the mark, therefore these cannot be the basis for a letter of protest.

Letter of Protest Standard of Review and Results

A letter of protest must be granted if the evidence is relevant and may support any reasonable ground for refusal. This is a very low bar, so the likelihood of a properly-filed letter of protest being granted is high. When a letter of protest is granted, the relevant evidence (but not the letter itself) is forwarded to the Examining Attorney for consideration. The Examining Attorney must make an independent determination on the basis of this evidence whether the requested refusal should be issued. A letter of protest relating to an issue already addressed by the Examining Attorney will be dismissed as moot, unless significant new evidence is submitted or the Examining Attorney is clearly in error. Thus, a letter of protest can be a powerful tool for correcting an obvious Examiner mistake. The protestor will receive a response from the Deputy Commissioner granting, denying, or holding moot the letter of protest within 60 days of filing the letter. A denial can be appealed by petitioning the Director to review the Deputy Commissioner’s decision to deny the letter of protest.

Letters of Protest Submitted After an Application's Publication

Letters of protest should be submitted before an application is allowed and published. Once an application has published, a letter of protest will be granted only if publication of the mark constituted clear error because the submitted evidence shows that the mark should have been refused. All letters of protest must be submitted within 30 days of publication unless the evidence submitted could not have been obtained earlier. No letter of protest will be accepted after registration. If a letter of protest is granted after publication, the Examining Attorney must issue the requested refusal of registration, although it is possible in some cases for that to be overcome by the applicant.

Does the Letter of Protest Become Part of the Application's Public Record?

A letter of protest is never entered into an application's public record. If the letter is granted, the evidence submitted therewith will become a part of the record along with a memorandum granting the request. If the Examining Attorney decides against issuing a refusal, a note will be added to the file indicating that the evidence was considered. However, any party may request a copy of a letter of protest, and the letter will ordinarily be provided.

Conclusion

Letters of protest can be a powerful tool in the arsenal of anyone who manages brands. Letters of protest can easily and inexpensively correct mistakes by Examining Attorneys that would otherwise result in costly oppositions and cancellation proceedings. Have your trademark attorney monitor new applications similar to your own applications and registrations, as well as those filed by your competitors. Make sure that any applications that could conflict with your own are nipped in the bud during the examination stage if possible.
