Frequently Asked Questions

What can be trademarked? ▼
Words, phrases, logos, symbols, designs, colors, sounds, and combinations thereof used to identify and distinguish goods or services can be trademarked. The mark must be distinctive and not merely descriptive.
Do I need a federal trademark registration? ▼
Federal registration provides nationwide protection, legal presumption of ownership, and right to sue in federal court. While common law rights exist from use alone, registration significantly strengthens your rights.
What is the trademark registration process? ▼
The process involves filing an application, examining use in commerce, publication for opposition, and registration issuance. The process typically takes 4-8 months depending on office actions and oppositions.
What is the difference between copyright and trademark? ▼
Trademarks protect brand identity and prevent consumer confusion. Copyrights protect original works of authorship. Both provide valuable intellectual property protection for different types of creative assets.
How do I protect trade secrets? ▼
Trade secrets require reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy through confidentiality agreements, access restrictions, and employee training. Unlike patents, trade secrets have indefinite protection if kept confidential.
