答：如果您的申请是基于“实际使用”或“意向使用”，您就需要提交“使用证据”。如果您的申请是基于外国申请或注册，或者您是根据马德里议定书提交的，您在注册商标时不需要提交“使用证据”。

A: If your application is based on “use in commerce” or “intent to use,” you are required to submit a specimen. If your application is based on a foreign application or registration, or you filed under the Madrid Protocol, you are not required to submit a specimen in order to register your mark.
