The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the federal agency for granting U.S. patents and registering trademarks. The USPTO advises each president of the United States, the secretary of commerce, and U.S. government agencies on intellectual property (IP) policy, protection, and enforcement, and promotes the stronger and more effective IP protection around the world.

We are pleased to announce the USPTO has formally approved the “Refreshed American Standard Version (RASV)” trademark.
