I am trying to trademark two words. I'll use the following as an example: Cocoa Puffs, a registered trademark.
Whenever displayed, it always only reads Cocoa Puffs with the small circled R.
The trademark I'd to register is 2 words (just an example: Cocoa Puffs) but on our product and package, the 2 words are followed by one more word that names the product; i.e Cocoa Puffs Cereal
I would like this because if my company comes up with another product say waffles I'd like to display it as Cocoa Puffs Waffles with the circled R following only "Cocoa Puffs"
The USPTO says I would have to trademark all of "Cocoa Puffs Cereal" and file a separate application for "Cocoa Puffs Waffles."
Anyone have any advice? Maybe I could place my two words (again, just an example) as follows: CocoaPuffs, apply for that and try to use Cereal or Waffles right after the combined word?
Thank you, if you guys could refer me to a lawyer that would help for little to no cost I'd really appreciate it. We have no funding but my team, straight out of college too, right now.
