Trademarking Legal Services for Small Businesses

Trademark law is complicated and confusing. We're here to help you understand how trademarks work and what you need to do to protect your brand.

Getting Started with Trademarks

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design, color combination, sound, or any other element used to identify a company's goods and/or services. If you use a trademark without permission, you could face legal consequences.

Protecting Your Brand Name

A trademark protects your business name, logo, and other identifying marks so that people will recognize your products as coming from you. If you use a company's name without permission, you might find yourself facing legal trouble.

Choosing a Logo Design

You need to choose a logo design that reflects your brand identity and communicates your message clearly. It should also be easy to read and understand.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

There are several common mistakes made when using trademarks. First, make sure you're not infringing on another company's trademark. Second, make sure you're using your mark in an appropriate manner. Third, make sure you're registering your mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Fourth, make sure you're protecting your mark. Finally, make sure you're getting professional help when dealing with trademarks.
