Trademark FAQs

1. 1.
   Does Vermont register service marks?

   No, but you can register as a trade name.

2. 2.
   Can a trademark ownership be transferred?

   Yes, a trademark may be assigned to another party.

   Please see the Trademark Assignment form.

3. 3.
   How long will it take to process an application?

   Normal turn-around time for processing applications is three to five working days.

4. 4.
   Can an application be faxed or filed online?

   No, because the application requires an original signature and the fee must be attached.

   All fees are to be either in the form of check or money order.

5. 5.
   Do you take credit cards?

   Not yet.

   In the past, we have offered draw-down account payment. Existing draw-down accounts will still be honored. When you file an application you simply indicate that the fee should be drawn from your account.

   Unfortunately, we are no longer creating new draw-down accounts for customers.
