Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the registration status of a trademark — unregistered ™, registered ®, pending, expired, or cancelled — by referencing a gmeow:TrademarkStatus value.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for copyright or licence standing (gmeow:copyrightStatus / gmeow:licenseFamily) and avoid deleting a lapsed mark — set gmeow:trademarkStatusExpired and record gmeow:validUntil (Principle 10).

How to use

• Set gmeow:trademarkStatus once per Trademark (functional) to a gmeow:TrademarkStatus value; on lapse, change the value and add gmeow:validUntil rather than removing the record.
