Other than the likelihood of confusion, what are some other reasons an examining attorney refuses registration?
Registration may be refused if the mark is:
• Descriptive for the goods/services;
• A geographic term;
• A surname;
• Ornamental as applied to the goods.
If you encounter any of these refusals, an attorney representing you can assist you in determining the course of action.
