Second, the trademarks can be text-based or image-based with words, letters, or numbers.

Third, the currently accepted trademarks must be issued by the government trademark offices in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, India, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Singapore, Spain, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the United Arab Emirates.
