Solution

False. It is not mandatory for the actual use of a trademark to occur after the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) registers the mark. In fact, in the United States, use of the trademark in commerce is generally required before it can be registered with the PTO. However, an "intent-to-use" application can be filed if the trademark has not yet been used in commerce, which allows the applicant to reserve the mark before its actual use.
