What Is a Trademark?
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services.
Trademarks can protect:
- Business names
- Logos
- Slogans
- Product names
- Service marks
- Brand identifiers
Federal registration through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provides nationwide protection and enforcement rights.

Common Trademark Questions
Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark?
While individuals may file directly with the USPTO, mistakes in classification, specimen submission, or legal analysis can result in rejection or limited protection. Legal guidance increases the likelihood of successful registration.
How long does it take to register a trademark?
The federal trademark process typically takes several months to over a year, depending on USPTO review timelines and whether Office Actions are issued.
What is the difference between ™ and ®?
The ™ symbol indicates a claimed trademark, even if unregistered. The ® symbol may only be used after federal registration is approved by the USPTO.
What happens if someone infringes my trademark?
Trademark owners may pursue cease and desist actions, opposition proceedings, or litigation to stop unauthorized use and seek damages.
