=====Sample Process======

The USPTO trademark process begins with submitting a trademark application. The USPTO then reviews the application to check if it is complete. If the application is complete, it is published for opposition, allowing others to challenge it. If no opposition is filed, the trademark is registered. However, if there is an opposition, it must be resolved before registration. If the application is not complete, additional information is requested from the applicant, who then provides it, and the review process continues.
