A trademark application can be filed with the U.S.PTO based on ownership of a foreign trademark application (if filed within six months of the foreign filing date) and ownership of foreign registration for the same trademark, either of which would require copies to support the same. The US trademark office requires payment of fees based on the number of classes of goods and/or services identified for the trademark or service mark and whether the reproduction of the trademark or service mark will be in black and white and/or in color. The US trademark office specifies several classes of goods and/or services associated with the goods or services sought to be trademarked.

In order to avoid common trademark filing mistakes and to choose the right trademark, one must be aware of the rules and regulations of the US Patent And Trademark Office. For details read "Preventive Steps to Avoid Trademark Refusals - How to Choose the Right Trademark"
