Study the trademark requirements that apply to designations to determine the individuality of the products produced. It must be original in origin and have a distinctive character. The image must not be misleading to potential buyers.
Step 2
Determine who will be the owner of the trademark you have developed for your products.

A licensing agreement should be concluded with the copyright holder, which will be a confirmation of his rights. If within three years the trademark is not used for any reason, then after this period Rospatent may cancel it.

Write a list of products that you are going to produce under the developed trademark. It should be compiled using the International Classification of Goods and Services. You need to independently determine the class to which this or that product belongs.
