What is a Trademark?
A trademark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others. It can be a name, logo, slogan, or even a sound that distinguishes your brand.
Registering your trademark gives you the exclusive right to use it nationwide and protects you against infringement, ensuring your brand remains unique and valuable.
Why Registering Your Trademark is Crucial
A registered trademark is one of your most valuable business assets. It provides legal protection, builds brand recognition, and prevents competitors from using your unique identity.
- Nationwide Priority
- Legal Presumption of Ownership
- Deters and Prevents Infringement
- Increases Brand Value

You can trademark various elements that define your brand's identity, ensuring comprehensive protection.
Brand Name
The name you use to identify your business or product (e.g., "Coca-Cola").
Logo
A symbol or design that represents your brand (e.g., the Nike "swoosh").
Slogan or Tagline
A catchy phrase associated with your brand (e.g., "Just Do It").

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the trademark registration process take?
The entire process can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. After filing, the USPTO will review the application, which can take several months. However, your protection begins from the filing date once the trademark is approved.
What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?
A trademark protects brand names, logos, and slogans used on goods and services. A copyright protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, and art. They protect different types of intellectual property.
Do I need an attorney to file a trademark?
While it's not legally required, using a service like ours or an attorney is highly recommended. The application process is complex, and errors can lead to delays or rejection. We help ensure your application is filled out correctly to maximize your chances of success.
What happens if my trademark application is rejected?
If the USPTO issues an "Office Action" (a preliminary rejection), you will have the opportunity to respond and argue why your trademark should be registered. Our service can assist with this process, though complex legal arguments may require an attorney.
