Legal Definitions - Trademark Electronic Application System

The Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) is a way to apply for a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office using the internet. It is a convenient and efficient way to apply for a trademark without having to go to the office in person.

For example, if you have a business and want to protect your brand name, you can use TEAS to apply for a trademark. You would fill out the application online, pay the required fees, and submit it electronically. This saves time and money compared to mailing in a paper application.

Another example is if you have created a new product and want to protect the name or logo associated with it. You can use TEAS to apply for a trademark and ensure that no one else can use the same name or logo for a similar product.
