A: Businesses usually register their trademarks in any country where they intend to do business. However, the use of a particular trademark depends on many factors including whether such mark would infringe on the trademark rights of another. Consult with a U.S. trademark attorney to assist you with clearance searches and the trademark application process. Trademark registration applicants that do not reside in the U.S. must be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney.

A: There are several factors that would determine the answer to your question. It would depend on what kind of goods you are wanting to sell. As the other answer mentioned, you will need to be represented by a US trademark attorney to file for trademark protection in the US. They will be able to analyze your specific situation and give you a more specific answer. Best of luck on your ventures!
