Citizenship and Trademark Registration at Home and Internationally
American citizenship is not required to file for trademark registration in the U.S. The basic requirements are that the applicant is using the mark in association with goods and services across state lines, and that the mark is not infringing on the mark of another.
There is technically no such thing as an "international trademark." To secure trademark protection in other countries, an application must be filed in those countries. That process can begin with filing a U.S. trademark application.
