Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trademark law allows John Crichton to file for an extension of his trademark registration for a period of up to six months if he hasn't used the logo in commerce. This gives him additional time to begin using the logo and to establish a basis for his trademark rights. Choosing B, C, or D is not the best option since changing the logo slightly would require a new trademark application, paying a fine is not a valid option to register a trademark, and canceling the current application and reapplying would require additional fees and time-consuming formalities.
