One of the most common things we see with intellectual property law is that most people do not realize there is a difference between a trademark and copyright. The United States Trademark and Patent Office defines a trademark as "a word, phrase, slogan, symbol, or design, or combination thereof, that identifies the source of your goods and services and distinguishes them from the goods and services of another party." This essentially means that a trademark makes your product yours and not someone else's product. Commonly trademarks are either words or a logo.
At the Country Law Shack, we strive to make the trademark process as easy as possible. We break down the information you need to ensure no one else is already using a version of your mark, apply for a mark on your behalf, help you in nailing down an appropriate specimen, and guide you through the process until ultimately, in most cases, your mark is registered. Call us today to discover what the best roadmap is for you to get your mark registered!
