Trademark Glossary
There are numerous technical terms in trademark law. We explain these in our Trademark Glossary.
| Term | Main definition |
|---|---|
| Goods and services | When applying for a trademark, the goods and services for which the trademark is to be registered must be specified. The goods and services must be arranged according to classes. These should be the goods and services for which the trademark is to be used. |
| Grace period for use | After the deadline has expired, third parties may request the trademark owner to prove genuine, right-preserving use of the trademark by way of appropriate documents (referred to as defense of use objection). Where trademark owners do not succeed in (fully) proving this, their trademark will be (partially) canceled. |
For additional information see our FAQ or our Trademark Glossary.
