So what exactly IS a specimen and how do you submit one that won't get rejected? In this episode of All Up In Yo Business, trademark attorney Aiden Durham explains what is a trademark specimen, common mistakes and reasons it might be rejected, and how to submit an accurate and acceptable one! Including a trademark specimen example or two.
