What is the correct filing basis for your trademark?

This is one of the most complicated and technical questions in any trademark application. First, you tell the government what trademark you'd like to register, then you answer the question about what goods and services you're going to be providing under the trademark. After that, you get to this question about what your filing basis is.

Here are the four most common choices to choose from when selecting the correct filing basis for your trademark.

1(a) Basis: Actual Use in Commerce
1(b) Basis: Intent-to-Use in Commerce
44(d) Basis: Foreign Application
44(e) Basis: Foreign Registration
