Hello,
I have a trademark NOA for a dating service that is free. It is a mobile phone application and a website that serves about 3500+ users - is fair game to file the statement of use for the trademark? Or do I need to start making sales on the app?
answered on Jun 9, 2022
You do not need necessarily have sales. Your product or service needs to be available to the public for use or purchase. In your case you should be able to file a SOU. Consult with an attorney, this is not legal advise.

Have them provide proof of permission.
Either a license, contract or similar.
Have them sign your terms where they become liable and protect you.
And check with professional liability, to see if you can buy protection for copyright infringement.
Consult with an attorney.
