j. I already have a registered trademark. Do I still need to record my trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse?

While brand owners that already have registered trademarks benefit from existing protections under relevant law, this is limited to the category of goods and services and the jurisdiction(s) under which the trademark is registered. Applicants most commonly assume that their trademark certificates will serve as an accurate replacement for providing a full description of their goods and services, which as a result leaves brand owners open to potential problems in the future due to a lack of proper documentation.
