3 Trademark Basics Every Owner Should Know

What Does "Trademark" Mean?

A trademark is a name, logo, or phrase that lets customers recognize your products or services. It sets your brand apart and prevents others from using it without your permission.

Why Bother Registering a Trademark?

Registering a trademark hands you the sole right to use your brand name or logo. Since no one else is allowed to use it, your business and its reputation stay protected.

What's Involved in Registering a Trademark?

To register a trademark, pick a distinctive name or logo, complete an application with accurate details, and submit it to the appropriate government office. Be sure to keep tabs on your trademark and renew it as needed so it stays protected.

Your Trademark Questions, Answered

1What does a trademark actually do?

A trademark can be a symbol, word, phrase, design, or any mix of these, and it identifies and sets apart the source of goods or services from competitors in the market.

To register a trademark, you'll need to file an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). That process covers a comprehensive search, preparing your application, and handling any office actions along the way.

Once registered, your trademark gives you nationwide exclusive legal rights to use it, boosts your brand's strength, and shields it from infringement.

On average, expect the process to run about 8-12 months, though the exact timeline depends on how complicated the application is and whether any issues pop up.

You'll need to supply details about the mark, the goods or services it covers, and — when applicable — proof that it's already used in commerce.

Approval typically falls within a 6-16 month consideration window for trademark applications. We'll keep sending you periodic status updates so you stay in the know.
You can always reach out by email or through our website for the latest on your approval status, and we'll also send you routine updates without you having to ask.
Skip generic terms from your market niche, and avoid any words or phrases that are already trademarked. Our experts can review and polish your application to help it get approved faster.

Yes — a phrase qualifies for trademark protection as long as it's distinctive and used alongside your products or services.
