I do not claim to be a lawyer or to understand these things beyond the most rudimentary level. I share this information here only so that those individuals and businesses who might actually have a real stake in the matter are aware.
Someone has officially applied to trademark beer. It was published for opposition on August 25, which means the 30-day opposition period began on that date. If you are familiar with the process, you know what that means. Apparently, the applicant is a clothing producer so this could, in theory, interfere with anyone else’s right to use the word beer on T-shirts, hats, and so on.
The trademark opposition period lasts for 30 days. During that time, anyone with a real interest in the matter can oppose the trademark application and attempt to stop the registration of the trademark. To file an opposition, you must file an official notice of opposition with the USPTO.
Legitimate opposition does not include random people who think the registration of the trademark would be generally unfair. Rather, the opposition must come from individuals and entities that have a personal, real stake in the outcome.
