Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register my trademark?

You gain some rights just by using a mark, but federal registration gives nationwide priority, a legal presumption of ownership and the right to use the ® symbol.

How long does trademark registration take?

Commonly around a year or more from filing, depending on USPTO backlog and whether office actions are issued.

What can be registered as a trademark?

Words, names, logos, slogans and, in some cases, sounds, colors or product shapes that identify the source of goods or services.

What is the difference between a trademark and a patent?

A trademark protects a brand identifier. A patent protects an invention. Many products benefit from both.

How long does a trademark registration last?

Indefinitely, as long as the mark stays in use and the required maintenance filings are made.
