How to trademark your AI-generated logo

A short, jurisdiction-aware checklist. Not legal advice — but enough to start the conversation with a real lawyer.

Disclaimer: this is not legal advice. We are a software product with a commercial-license clause, not your attorney. Talk to one.

01 · Confirm originality

Search for visual conflicts. Free tools: Google Reverse Image, USPTO TESS (US), EUIPO eSearch (EU), GOV.UK IPO (UK). Paid: TrademarkVision, Corsearch.

02 · File in your operating jurisdictions

In the US, file with USPTO. In the EU, file an EUTM with EUIPO. In the UK, file with the IPO. The Madrid Protocol consolidates filings across 130+ countries — usually worth it for international brands.

03 · Pick the right Nice classes

There are 45 'classes' covering different categories of goods/services. A coffee shop usually files in classes 30 (coffee) and 43 (cafe services). Filing in too many classes is expensive; filing in too few leaves you exposed.

04 · About AI authorship

In most jurisdictions, trademarks protect commerce, not authorship. The fact that the logo was generated by AI does not affect your ability to register it as a trademark. (Copyright is murkier and varies by country.)

05 · What our license gives you

On Pro and Business plans, you get full commercial rights: resale, trademark filings, merchandise. Free-tier outputs are watermarked and limited to personal use. We don't claim ownership of any logo you generate.
