What is a Trademark?
A trademark includes any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended
to be used, in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from
goods manufactured or sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. In short, a
trademark is a brand name.
What is a service mark?
A service mark is any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used, or intended to be
used, in commerce, to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from services
provided by others, and to indicate the source of the services.
Do I have to register my trademark?
No, but state and national registration has several advantages, including a legal presumption of
ownership, and the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or
services set forth in the registration.
Registered Trademarks include: Names (e.g. "Starbucks", "Egg McMuffin", "Ebay.com") Slogans (e.g. "Got Milk?", "You've Got Mail") Logos (e.g. the Nike Swoosh)

Trademarks protect your business name, product names, Domain names, logos and slogans.
The decision to Trademark is likely one of the most important business decisions you will make.
We would be pleased to assist you with the complex trademark registration process.
Why Trademark? Owners of registered trademarks have the ability to prevent others (i.e., their
competitors and other third parties) from using their registered trademark without permission.
Your registered trademark can also successfully prevent others from (a) acquiring trademark
rights in your trademark, and/or (b) claiming that you are infringing their trademark rights.
Trademark Infringement actions can be costly. Few companies have the financial strength to
overcome the full or partial loss of their right to use their own business name or product name.
Consequently, trademarks are critical business assets.
Where Should I Trademark? We can assist you to secure U.S. trademark protection at the State
level for localized small businesses or at a national level for a growing business.
