Are there any benefits from a pre-filing use of the trademark?

  • Pre-filing use may demonstrate acquired distinctiveness of the mark
  • Pre-filing use may help overcome an opposition to a trademark application on the grounds of non-distinctiveness
  • Pre-filing use may help prove the real proprietorship of the mark in cases where there are oppositions
