The mark may be a word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof. A word or slogan may be registered only when it clearly distinguishes products or services from those of another. The registration of a trademark or service mark with the Secretary of State provides protection of the mark in North Dakota. However, if a mark is registered with the Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C., the federal registration may supersede the protection afforded by state law. In the event that a mark or name is used that is deemed to be the same as, or deceptively similar, to a trademark or service mark that is already registered, the registrant of such mark may institute a civil suit to enjoin the manufacture, use, display, or sale of any counterfeits or imitations. (See North Dakota Century Code, Section 47-22-12.) The trademark or service mark submitted for registration may not be the same as, or deceptively similar to, another mark or name registered with the Secretary of State. (See North Dakota Century Code, Section 47-22-02.) The Secretary of State may not file any trademark or service mark submitted for filing if the mark is determined to be the same as, or deceptively similar to, a previously filed name or mark. The following numbers correspond to the numbered sections on page 1 of this form: 1. The registration fee is $30 if a trademark or service mark is associated with only one class of goods or services. If associated with more than one class of goods or services, the fee is $20 for each additional class. (See number 12 to identify the applicable classes). Checks must be payable to "Secretary of State" and must be negotiable U.S. funds. Payment may also be made by credit card using Visa, Master Card, or Discover. Attach two identical facsimiles of the mark to the application. The facsimiles may be in the form of an actual label or tag, or a photograph. If color of the mark is a distinguishing characteristic, colored facsimiles must be provided. Provide the full names of all the owners. If the owner is a corporation, a limited liability company, a limited partnership, a limited liability partnership, or a limited liability limited partnership registered with the Secretary of State, the owner's name must be identical to that as registered. To properly maintain trademark or service mark records, the social security or federal ID number(s) of the owner(s) is requested. In compliance with the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, the disclosure of the social security or federal ID number on this form is voluntary. The number is not disclosed to the public. It is used by the Secretary of State to maintain accurate trademark and service mark files. Therefore, while voluntary disclosure is requested, failure to do so will not result in rejection of the registration. 5. 6. The telephone number of the owner is required. Provide the complete mailing address of the owner's principal place of business. In this section, an address must include either a street or rural address and/or a post office box number if required for mailing purposes, in addition to the city, state, and zip code. If the owner is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or limited liability limited partnership registered with the Secretary of State, the principal place of business address must correspond to that declared in the separate entity registration with the Secretary of State.
