Trademarks & Patents
Trademarks at USPTO
It’s recommended to protect your brand and logo by registering it as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Using a trademark helps distinguish you from competitors. The word trademark can be used both for trademark and for service mark. Trademark refers to goods while service mark refers to services. It is extremely important to protect your brand by registering it as a trademark. It gives you broader rights and protection than an unregistered brand. Our team of experts has the experience and ability to register your company with the USPTO.
The benefits of having a trademark
A trademark is listed in the USPTO database either as registered or pending. This provides public notice for those searching for similar trademarks. The date you applied and the date you were registered will be visible to others.
By law, you have the right to use it so in federal court. It shows you are the rightful owner and it eliminates the amount of evidence needed.
You can use your registration as a basis for filing for trademark protection in foreign countries. You may use the federal trademark registration symbol to show that your brand or logo is registered with the USPTO, which will deter others from using the same trademark.
Finally, you may record the trademark registration with the US Customs and border protection. If they suspect an infringing trademark, they can stop the importation of goods.
