Can I register my own name or family name as a trademark in the USA?

30-May-2023

There are no limitations on the registration of names and family names as trademarks; however, a disclaimer will have to be made on whether:

The name relates to any living person and confirmation that you have consent
The name does not relate to any living individual.

Registration of names as trademarks is very tricky as you will have to seek fame in order to maintain the registration and ensure you can defend against others using the same name or family name.
