Trademark Registration

Trademark of a brand symbolizes its identity in the market. A trademark could be any word, phrase, name, or symbol or a combination. Trademark discriminates products of different sellers from one another and gives a unique identity to the product. Products become popular by recognizing the trademark of the brand.

The U.S. patent and trademark office (USPTO) reviews trademark applications and are the sole authority to give clearance for federal registration. However, owning a trademark registration is not mandatory but registering trademark has its own advantages such as-

• You can claim the ownership of the trademark, which will exclusively belong to you.
• Exclusive right to use the mark enables you to enjoy the sole benefit of goods and services produced under the same trademark.
• Can claim exclusive right on the trademark at Federal court.

The trademark of the brand should be stylish and eye-catching to attract buyers. But it becomes a tedious task when our selected trademark conflicts with existing trademarks.
USPTO website offers a free search for all the registered trademarks by using TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System). If your trademark includes design, then you have to search such marks by using a design code.
For the convenience of our clients, we provide two types of searches, “Direct Hit” trademark search and “Comprehensive state & Federal” trademark search.

The search includes “knockout” trademark searches of the U.S. Federal trademark database and also from State trademark database.

Some essential facts about Trademark registration

The trademark symbol is denoted by TM (trademark) or SM (service mark) and can be used irrespective of USPTO authorization. However, federal registration symbol “®” can only be used after USPTO legally registers the symbol or trademark. If the registration process at USPTO is pending then it will be considered void. Another very important information which one should consider is that the Federal registration symbol can only be applicable to those goods and services which are listed in the Federal trademark registration.
