What is a Trademark?
Trademarks protect symbols, phrases, designs (e.g. logo), or combinations that identify services or products belonging to a specific source. The purpose of a trademark is to enable consumers to identify your product or service and distinguish them from your competitors within the same marketplace.
When a trademark is registered, it gives the owner exclusive rights to use that trademark and prevents others from using it without permission. Trademarks are important for businesses because they help build a good reputation and make sure customers don't get confused by similar products or services.
What is a U.S. Federal Trademark?
Registration of a trademark requires you to take several steps. While there are multiple levels for a trademark (local, state, and federal), the best protection you can get is at the federal level. To obtain a trademark that protects you in the U.S., you can apply for a trademark with USPTO or use services like Tailor Brands Trademark services (more info in the resource section below).
