Legal Information

SlabIQ has been used as a software brand and SaaS (Software as a Service) product in active development. The following represents a factual operational timeline:

• Beta Availability: The platform entered beta availability on or around December 25, 2025. During this period, users were able to access and interact with the SaaS product.
• Continuous Development: Since that time, the brand "SlabIQ" has been displayed and used in connection with software services, including user interfaces, marketing materials, and operational documentation.
• User Engagement: The platform has maintained user access and engagement through its beta and subsequent operational phases.

This timeline represents factual operational history and is not intended as a legal claim of exclusivity or automatic trademark priority over other parties.

In the United States, trademark rights can arise from "use in commerce" and are not dependent solely on federal registration. These rights are often referred to as common law trademark rights.

Key factors that may contribute to common law trademark rights include:

• First use in commerce: The date when the mark was first used in connection with offering goods or services to the public.
• Continuous commercial use: Ongoing use of the mark in the ordinary course of business.
• Public association: The extent to which consumers associate the mark with the particular source of goods or services.

SlabIQ relies on its use of the mark in commerce through its SaaS platform as part of its asserted common law trademark position. This reliance is based on operational facts and should not be construed as a guarantee of legal priority or automatic enforcement rights.

"First use in commerce" generally refers to the first time a mark is used in connection with offering goods or services to the public in a way that creates a bona fide commercial transaction.

For SaaS products, evidence of use may include:

• Beta release availability and user access logs
• Public-facing product interfaces displaying the brand
• Domain registration and website deployment records
• User onboarding and account creation activity
• Deployment history and hosting records

SlabIQ's beta availability beginning around December 25, 2025 represents the period when the platform became accessible to users for testing and operational use. This date is part of the factual record and may be considered in the overall analysis of use in commerce.

Trademark rights are determined by multiple legal factors, not solely by the existence or absence of federal or state registrations. The following principles apply:

• Priority based on use: In the United States, trademark rights generally belong to the first party to use the mark in commerce, subject to various legal considerations.
• Registration is not absolute: Federal or LLC registrations do not automatically override prior use claims or established common law rights.
• Dispute resolution: Trademark disputes are resolved based on evidence such as:
  • Date of first use in commerce
  • Geographic scope of use
  • Commercial volume and duration
  • Market confusion analysis
  • Good faith adoption of the mark

This section provides general information about trademark principles. It does not imply that any specific registration is invalid or that SlabIQ automatically has priority over any other party.

The following types of evidence may support a record of use in commerce:

• SaaS deployment history: Server logs, hosting records, and deployment timestamps
• Beta release records: Documentation of beta availability starting ~12/25/2025
• Version control history: Git commit logs and development milestones
• Domain and DNS records: Registration dates and active usage
• User activity logs: Account creation, logins, and platform interactions
• Product UI screenshots: Visual branding in the application interface
• Early adopter communications: Emails, support tickets, and feedback
• Public changelogs: Updates and version history published to users

This list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Specific evidence requirements may vary depending on the legal context and jurisdiction.
