Intent To Use (ITU) Application (law)




An application for a federal registration made to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a trademark that is not yet being used. ITU applications secure trademark rights prior to actually using the mark. It allows companies the opportunity to see if the USPTO will register the mark without having to invest in the marketing and promotion of the mark in the event the mark is rejected. It also secures an early priority date (normally a priority date is not set until actual use).
