Protect a Name or Logo with a Trade Mark.
| So you have just come up with a great name or logo design and want to trademark it. You have taken an important first step in protecting your mark. A federal trademark registration protects your name or logo in the entire United States, thus allowing you to focus on other important things such as growing your business without having to worry whether your mark will be taken by someone else. Guaranteed Protection The most important tool any business can have in protecting their cherished mark name or logo is through trademark registration. Your trademark will safely be registered with the United States Trademark Office, and upon receiving your trademark certificate, others are deterred from using a similar mark in the same trade channel. As a result, you can have peace of mind in spending marketing resources in building a brand name without the fear that someone else can steal your brand name or design.
Brand Recognition A trademark helps consumers distinguish products in the marketplace. The "mark" may be a word, phrase, logo design, or a combination of these elements. It is this distinguishable feature that enables a consumer to identify and differentiate one brand product from another in commerce. n the trademark world, it's all about brand recognition and value. A good trademark, as any marketer will tell you, creates an instant, indelible, and positive feeling in a potential buyer of your clients' goods or services. Compare, for example, a Rolex® with a Timex®. Does a Rolex® brand watch keep better time than a Timex® brand watch? It is highly unlikely. Why then can Rolex charge several thousand dollars for a stainless steel watch, while Timex can charge no more than perhaps $50 for a steel watch of comparable accuracy? It's all in the trademark and the consistent and proper use of it over time. |
