Intent to Use vs. Regular Trademark Application
Hello, I am building a software for the civil engineering industry. I have not sold any services yet. I have the prototype of the software. I am currently in the process of showcasing the prototype and raising money / having companies prepay. I want to apply for trademark. Do I need to apply for intent to use or can I just make a regular application? Thank you for your input.

As the software is still not ready, you need to apply for intent to use. You must file the first extension request within six months after USPTO issues the NOA. You must pay a fee and include in your request a verified statement of your continued bona fide intention to use your mark in commerce. You will then have one year from the date USPTO issued the NOA to submit your Statement of Use. But in the case of software instead of a trademark, you should apply for a patent. Do you wish to trademark the name of the software?
