Trademark FAQs

Welcome to the Trademark FAQ page, where we provide answers to commonly asked questions about trademarks to help you navigate the world of intellectual property protection.

  • What is a trademark?

    A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services of one party from those of others.

  • Why should I register my trademark?

    Registering your trademark with the USPTO provides legal benefits and protections, including nationwide exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with your goods or services, the ability to enforce your rights in federal court, and public notice of your claim to the mark.

  • What can be trademarked?

    Trademarks can include words, names, symbols, devices, or any combination thereof that identifies and distinguishes your goods or services from others in the marketplace.

  • How long does trademark registration last?

    Trademark registration can last indefinitely if the mark is properly maintained and renewed according to USPTO requirements.

  • What is the difference between TM, SM, and ®?

    TM (Trademark): Used to indicate a claim to a trademark, whether registered or unregistered. SM (Service Mark): Used to indicate a claim to a service mark, which is similar to a trademark but identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than goods. ® (Registered Trademark): Used after a trademark has been officially registered with the USPTO.

  • How do I conduct a trademark search?

    Conducting a trademark search helps determine if a similar mark is already registered or in use. You can perform a search on the USPTO's online database or seek assistance from a trademark attorney or search firm.

  • What is a trademark specimen?

    A trademark specimen is a sample of how you use your mark in commerce on your goods or in the offer of your services. It is submitted as part of your trademark application to demonstrate actual use of the mark.

  • How can I protect my trademark internationally?

    Consider filing for trademark protection in countries where you do business or plan to expand. International protection can be obtained through filing applications directly in each country or region, or through international treaties such as the Madrid Protocol.

  • What should I do if someone infringes on my trademark?

    If you believe someone is infringing on your trademark rights, consult with a trademark attorney to discuss enforcement options. This may include sending a cease-and-desist letter, initiating legal action, or pursuing mediation or arbitration.
