A: The phrase "intent to use" describes one kind of application a person can make to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register a trademark. It means that you "intend" to use the mark in the future but as of now your use does not meet all of the requirements to prove your actual use of the mark. Are you asking the question because you received a notice from the USPTO? If that is the case, it may mean that the USPTO has assigned one of its paralegals to review your application.

A: It's probably best to have an attorney review exactly what you are looking at and get a brief background of the case. I'd be happy to do so if you want to email me privately.
