As you look to defend your name with a US trade mark registration, you have a couple of tools that you can already use. Many businesses use trademark symbols to signify that they are protecting their name or logo. You can use the trademark or service mark symbol at any time to indicate your common law trademark rights to use a name or logo within a certain area. Common law trademarks refer to the protection that some state and local governments give to businesses that have an established presence within a region. These laws vary, and you need to be sure that no one else has an existing claim to a specific name, especially within your market, to ensure that you don't get sued. Gerben Law Firm can assist you with that type of search through our comprehensive package.
Trademark and service mark symbols do not carry the same weight as a US trademark registration symbol, the little R with a circle around it. The US trade mark registration symbol indicates that you have received a trademark from USPTO. It is a notification that anyone who treads on your turf could face a lawsuit that has the weight of a federally approved US trademark registration. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben can advise you on which symbols you can use at different points of the process to help you defend the name of your company, goods or services.
If you want to get the most protection for your business, Gerben Law Firm is ready to work with you to complete a US trademark registration that will grant you the most protection possible under the law. The comprehensive package can help you accomplish that because of Gerben Law Firm's thorough and lengthy search for competitors. We go beyond federal databases to look for existing companies that use identical or similar names, even if they do not hold a registered trademark. That information will help you weigh the risks of facing rejection from USPTO or a lawsuit from a competitor that strives to claim common law protection.
Although US trademark registration is not an easy process, the value of defending your business name makes it worth the effort. As you look to maximize your profits, a US trademark registration can be a powerful tool for protecting your valuable name.
