A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination thereof that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services of one party from those of others. Trademarks play a critical role in business by allowing consumers to identify the origin of products and services, and they give brand owners the exclusive right to use their mark in commerce.
Federal trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provides significant legal advantages over unregistered or common law marks. These advantages include nationwide constructive notice of ownership, the legal presumption of validity, the right to use the ® symbol, the ability to file suit in federal court, and the potential to achieve incontestable status after five years of continuous use.
We handle registrations for every type of mark recognized by the USPTO, including standard character marks (word marks), design marks (logos), combined word and design marks, slogans, sound marks, color marks, and trade dress. Whether you need to trademark a business name, logo, slogan, product name, or any other source identifier, we bring meticulous preparation and strategic thinking to every filing.
