So, you
finally settled on the perfect name for your product or service – that's fantastic!
Finding just the right name is vitally important to the success of any product
line or service.
Or,
perhaps, we've already searched & filed a trademark for you. If it's been a
couple of years, have you had protective research conducted? Do you have a logo
or a slogan or a new product/service name?
Regardless
if you're new to the world of trademarks or have already gone 'round once,
let's walk through a quick primer. Protecting your brand is a vital part of
your overall business plan.
Trademark Step-by-Step Primer
1) Is
it required that I register my trademark?
No, not
at all. However, registering your trademark, specifically your Federal trademark,
does provide you with several advantages:
* Public notice of your claim of ownership of the mark;
* A legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and
your exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the
goods/services listed in the registration;
* The ability to bring an action concerning the mark in
federal court;
* The use of the U.S.
* The ability to record the U.S.
* The right to use the federal registration symbol ®;
and
* Listing in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office's online databases.
2) But
what if someone else already came up with that name?
While the
name may be unique and distinctive to you, there is a possibility that another
party already has prior trademark or common-law rights to the name for your
industry. Before you invest time, money and effort into your name, you need to
have comprehensive
research done, which will tell you if the name is truly available.
3) Ok,
so the name is clear; now what?
To
register your trademark, you have 2 options – file for a Federal or a State
trademark. If you are only going to sell
your product or services in 1 state, then a State trademark is the way to go.
While
anyone has the ability to go online to access these forms, it's strongly
recommended to hire a private company or an attorney for the preparation and/or
filing of the trademark application. To
ensure a successful filing, it's best to leave it in the hands of those with experience.

take care of all of your trademark needs.

found the perfect name – now, make sure it's truly yours!
