1. Why should I trademark my business name?

Trademarking your brand name is important and will protect your brand identity. Your brand name, logo and slogan are all things that customers have grown to trust. Some benefits of having a trademark are that it grant you exclusive rights to use your brand name in commerce, prevent others from using a similar name and allow you to use the trademark symbol with your brand name. A trademark registraition also makes it easier to stop someone from using your trademark in a cease and desist letter or infringement lawsuit.

2. What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

Trademark vs copyright - a trademark protects brand elements like a business names, logos, and slogans, while a copyright protects creative works like books, music, and films.

3. Can I trademark my business logo and business slogan together?

Yes, you can file a single trademark application for your logo and slogan if they are used together in commerce. However, separate trademark applications may be needed if your business brands are used independently.

4. How long will it take to register my trademark?

The trademark process can take anywhere from 11 months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the application and whether any oppositions are filed.

5. Can a trademark expire?

A trademark can last indefinitely as long as you continue to use it in commerce and renew it every 10 years.

6. What should I do if someone infringes on my trademark?

You should contact a trademark attorney immediately to assess the situation. You may need to send a cease and desist letter or pursue legal action to protect your rights.
