Q: I have a registered trademark. Am I limited to using it only for the services listed on my trademark registration listin
My trademark is Gurlie Locks. I am branching out to other items and was hoping to be able to brand them as Gurlie Locks since I own the name. Thanks!
A:
You may start using your trademark for the new services, provided that no one else is using the mark in your geographic area for similar services. You may then file a new application to add a new class of goods and services. You would also pay an additional application fee.
