Trademark Registration and Litigation Trademarks are words, names, symbols or devices used to indicate the source of goods or services and to distinguish them from the goods and services of others. A trademark is obtained on a recognizable phrase or symbol to legally distinguish it from other similar products. Trademarks may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark, but cannot prevent others from selling the same product.
Trademark Registration Trademarks are an important part of any business, as they protect your brand’s image. However, just because you conduct business under a certain name and with a certain logo doesn’t mean you are qualified to trademark it. The mark cannot be generic or confusingly similar to an existing mark for the same type of goods/service. First, a trademark search is required to make sure there aren’t potential issues with confusion between what you want to trademark and something that’s already been trademarked. The search results might also help you identify competitors to determine if your trademark is strong compared to the trademarks that already exist. This step of the process might sound simple, but it’s a very comprehensive process that is best left for an experienced attorney to conduct. An attorney will be able to look at both registered and unregistered trademarks to make sure the mark your trademark won’t be a problem in the future.
Once the search is completed and your trademark application process commences, you are officially involved in legal proceedings. This means you have to abide by U.S. trademark laws, making it even more important to have an attorney at this point in the process.
