What Is a Trademark Disclaimer?

A Trademark Disclaimer is a statement included in an application or registration that indicates that you do not claim exclusive rights to a portion of your mark. Typically, these unregistrable portions are words that are generic, descriptive, or informational.

A Trademark Disclaimer simply states that you aren’t claiming exclusive rights to use a part of your trademark, usually because that part does not qualify for trademark protection.

A trademark disclaimer is a statement that you put in a trademark application that tells people that you do not claim exclusive rights to a portion of your trademark. Disclaimed portions are usually descriptive, generic, or informational and thus do not qualify for trademark protection.
