A: Only one same or similar trademark can be registered in a class of goods and/or services. In order to find out if your brand/ trademark is available in the required class of goods/services you should consult a trademark attorney or service company. A quick trademark search can be conducted to advise if the mark can be registered.

A: It is possible to trademark a clothing brand called "Chosen" or "Chosen One," but it is important to consider whether there are existing trademarks that could cause confusion with your brand.

When evaluating a trademark application, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) considers the similarity between your proposed trademark and existing trademarks in the same or related industries. If there are existing trademarks that are too similar to your proposed trademark, your application may be denied.

While there are many companies that have trademarks for "Chosen" or "Chosen One," it is important to review these trademarks to determine whether they are in the same or related industries as your clothing brand. If they are not, it may be possible to obtain a trademark for your clothing brand.

However, if there are existing trademarks in the same or related industries that are too similar to your proposed trademark, it may be necessary to modify your trademark or choose a different brand name altogether to avoid potential legal issues.

It is recommended to consult with a licensed attorney who specializes in trademark law to evaluate the viability of your proposed trademark and guide you through the trademark registration process.

In summary, it is possible to trademark a clothing brand called "Chosen" or "Chosen One," but it is important to evaluate existing trademarks in the same or related industries to avoid potential legal issues. Consulting with a licensed attorney who specializes in trademark law can help guide you through the trademark registration process.
