INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. This application must be used to register a Trademark/Service Mark. A document required or permitted to be filed under this Act

cannot be filed unless it contains the minimum information required by the Act. This is a legal document and agency staff cannot

provide legal advice.

2. Submit one original of this document. Upon filing, the Certificate of Registration will be mailed to the applicant or his/her representative

to the address provided on this Application. Since this application will be maintained on electronic format, it is important that the filing

3. This Application is to be used pursuant to Section 3(1) of Act 242, P.A. of 1969 for the purpose of registering a trademark or service

them from the similar services of others. The term person, as sued above, means an individual, firm, partnership, corporation,

association, union, or other organization. A mark is not able to be registered until it has actually been adopted and used in Michigan.

The registration is effective for ten years and is renewable for successive terms of 10 years upon the filing of an application for renewal,

on a form provided by the Bureau, within six months prior to the expiration date.
