While the application is pending
- Keep the application number and filing date in one place.
- Screenshot the account holding the handle every few weeks, with dates.
- Note any sign it presents itself as your brand.
- Launch on a fallback handle you control, so nothing waits on the claim.
When registration comes through
File the report with the registration number, the office and the classes. Link the posts that cause confusion. See trademark registration proof.
If someone poses as you now
An impersonation report does not need a trademark. If the account pretends to be your business, see Instagram impersonation reports.
