Which of the following is related to an Intent to Use application?

An Intent to Use application allows a trademark applicant to secure a filing date and claim a trademark before the mark is actually in use in commerce. This type of application is particularly beneficial for businesses that are in the planning stages of developing a brand or product and wish to protect their potential trademarks in advance.

The choice related to contacting the Intent to Use Division for assistance is correct because if an applicant has questions or requires clarification about the Intent to Use process, they can reach out to the division for guidance. This division can provide support regarding the specific requirements and procedures associated with Intent to Use applications.

The other options do not accurately describe the nature of Intent to Use applications. For instance, Intent to Use applications do not automatically grant trademark rights; they provide a basis for obtaining a registration upon later filing a Statement of Use showing that the trademark is in use. Evidence of use is required later in the process, not immediately upon filing the application, meaning the applicant has some time to commence use of the mark. Additionally, related filing fees for a Notice of Allowance will apply once the application is approved and the applicant intends to use the mark, thus fees are not waived in the context of an Intent to Use application.
