[E-trademarks] FDA approval

[Daniel Kegan]

Generally things that affect the function or function of the human body likely need FDA approval,
unless an explicit exception. What does your client descriptively call the product, is there also a
common medical term for it. Check the FDA regulations for a start. (Non-human animals may
have a slightly different over-simplistic summary.)

Client has a product that appears to be some sort of medical device (at least to me).  Let’s say it removes tattoos, without piercing the sling and without medical professional assistance.  If it does not have FDA approval, is it likely to be denied trademark registration? Certainly the denial of trademarks for all things containing CBD (despite the legality of CBD) would suggest an unhappy ending to this trademark application, too.

Let me know your thoughts, please!

Thanks,
Mark
