Packaging submitted as a trademark specimen must meet the following:

  • The specimen must be legible.
  • The mark on the packaging must be the same version as the mark in the trademark application.
  • The photo must be a real, unaltered image of actual packaging; not a mockup, rendering, or digitally modified image.
  • The packaging must make clear what product is offered under the mark; through a product description, visible product contents, or product name.
