What is a trademark?
A trademark or service mark can be a word, symbol, design, phrase or any combination of these, that identifies your goods or services and distinguishes them from the goods or services of another. Trademarks and service marks are both commonly referred to as marks or trademarks. Trademarks are a vital and valuable part of any successful business, providing protection to both businesses and consumers. By helping consumers determine the source of particular products and/or services, trademarks provide protection against consumer confusion in the marketplace. For businesses, trademarks provide enormous value by building brand recognition, goodwill and reputation, and can account for a significant portion of a companies overall value.
Here are a few examples of how trademarks may exist within a business or brand:
- Company/Business names
- Logos
- Slogans
- Product/Service Names
- Jingles/Songs/Sounds
- Product packaging

Why should I register my trademark?
U.S. Federal Trademark Registration provides the trademark owner with a number of important benefits, including but not limited to:
- U.S. Federal Trademark Registration constitutes “constructive use” of the trademark nationwide, as of the application filing date.
- Registration creates a legal presumption that you are the rightful owner of the trademark. The registration certificate serves as proof of ownership in Federal Court, without the need for additional evidence.
- Trademarks are listed in the USPTO database, providing notice of your trademark ownership and rights to the world.
- Helps deter others from using or trying to register your trademark or one confusingly similar with the USPTO.
- U.S. registration can be used as a basis for filing for trademark protection in foreign countries.
- Grants the right to bring a lawsuit concerning the trademark in federal court
- May use the federal trademark registration symbol, ®, with your trademark to show that you are registered with the USPTO.
- Allows you to record your registration with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to stop the importation of trademark infringing goods.
- Trademark owners may license their marks while still retaining ownership, as well as, transfer ownership through a written assignment.
