Is product packaging a proper specimen of use?

Senior Trademark Attorney

Yes. Product packaging is among the most commonly accepted specimen types for physical goods. The packaging must display the trademark prominently and clearly associate it with the product being sold. The mark on the packaging must match the mark as filed, and the photo must be a real, unaltered image of actual packaging used in commerce; not a rendering or prototype.
