S13 E51 Life is Good trademark story, and trademarks for clothing brands with Wayne Carroll |...
The LIFE IS GOOD trademark was started by brothers Albert and John Jacobs and was rejected several times by the trademark office before they finally obtained their trademark registration. In this podcast, we are going to explore how to use a trademark on clothing brands so that it will be accepted by the trademark office on the first try.
In 1994 Albert and John Jacobs started a clothing brand called LIFE IS GOOD. In Feb. of 1995 they applied for a trademark, which was rejected.
In March of 1995, a LIFE IS GOOD Logo application was filed, but that one did not become a trademark.
In March of 1996, another trademark was filed and this one finally became a trademark.
I don’t know the exact reasons the first two were rejected, but it is common for clothing brands to be rejected because of how they use the brand.

For trademark use on clothing, put the brand on the tag or the packaging. A brand on the clothing itself is not considered trademark use.
Use actual photos of your clothing with the tag or packaging that shows the brand.
Use the brand on your website where you sell the clothing as a brand at the top of the page.
Work with an attorney to ensure you are prepared to qualify for federal trademark protection.
