What Is an Information Disclosure Statement?
An information disclosure statement (IDS) describes all prior art or related technology claimed in a patent application. It places the burden of disclosure on the inventor or applicant. If an application doesn't have this statement or fails to include key prior art, any issued patent may become invalid or considered fraudulent.
Information Disclosure Statement: What Is It?
Patent applicants have a responsibility to complete an IDS, which references:
- all prior art, or patents
- patent applications, and
- publications related to an invention.

What Is Trademark vs. Service Mark?
A trademark offers legal protection for a symbol, logo, phrase, word, design, or name that represents goods or products. A service mark, or servicemark, offers similar protection for services. If your company sells an item or multiple items, you'd need to trademark the mark used to represent the business. If you have a company that provides a service, focus on the service mark.
Using TM in your mark represents trademark and SM represents service mark. Neither holds any legal significance. The only symbol that has legal weight is the registered symbol, represented by an encircled R.
In order to use the registered symbol, a business or individual must file an application with the United States

- A Statement of Use (SOU) is required to convert an “intent-to-use” trademark application into a registered trademark with the USPTO.
- The SOU must include a verified statement, specimen of use, and payment per class of goods/services.
- If not yet using the mark in commerce, applicants can request six-month extensions—up to five times (36 months total).
- Premature or deficient filings can result in abandonment; careful compliance with USPTO rules is crucial.
- Dividing an application is an option if the trademark is used in some, but not all, classes listed.
