What is a Trademark?

A trademark is an indicator of source and a symbol of quality for a particular good or service. It can be a brand name, word, symbol, sound, device, or any combination of these things to identify and distinguish your goods and services from those of another. A trademark is a business’s intellectual property and source of goodwill with its customers. There are three main types of trademarks — trademarks, service marks, and collective marks.

How to Register a Trademark

In order to register a trademark, the first step is conducting an initial search, which involves a brief review of the trademark register through the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) at the United States Patent & Office (USPTO) and a common law search, which may be conducted on search engine websites such as Google or Yahoo. This step can save a lot of time, money, and headache. An additional search using a third-party vendor may be needed depending on the circumstances. This ensures that no one else has already registered your idea for a trademark or business name. The second step is filing an application with the USPTO online with the Trademark Electronic Application System. This application requires a considerable amount of information that our trademark attorneys can help you complete. One of the most common questions our office receives is, “How much is a trademark?” Depending on the class of goods, the filing fee for an application is between $250 and $350.

An examiner will review your application and notify you of any issues. If none exist, the trademark will be published in the Official Gazette where other people will have a chance to oppose it. If no one does, then your trademark is officially registered. If problems do arise, our team is prepared to fully defend your trademark against any claims and protect your company’s rights to its intellectual property.
