It provides legal protection, prevents unauthorized use, and helps establish trust and recognition with customers, ensuring your business maintains its unique market presence.

how to trademark a logo
You can trademark a logo that includes your business name, but if you want to protect a logo and protect a name, you'll need to purchase and file two separate applications.
While using your logo gives you common law trademark rights, filing a trademark application provides full legal protection. The process can be nuanced, so getting guidance from a trademark attorney can make all the difference.

how to trademark a Name
Your application must be filed with the USPTO, and it must include:
The contact information of the mark's owner
The name you want to protect
The contact information of the mark's owner
Whether your name is already being used in business ("in commerce") or you haven't started using it yet ("intent to use")
A label or a package (the "specimen") that shows your name in use if you're filing your trademark as "in commerce." (If you file as "intent to use" you will need to provide your specimen later and pay additional federal fees.)
What's the difference between a trademark &
a copyright?
Trademark
Protects Brands
Trademarks are used to protect brand names, business names, product names, logos, and slogans
Needs to be registered
While you gain limited protection as soon as you start using your brand name and logo, you need to register a trademark with the USPTO to protect your brand. They ensure that a business can use its brand to build recognition and differentiate itself without fear of copycats.
Can be renewed
As long as you renew your trademark—after the first five years, then every ten—it will not expire.
Copyright
Protect creative works
Copyrights cover creative works such as stories, poems, song lyrics, movies, and even software code.
applies immediately
As soon as you create a creative work, it enjoys federal copyright protection. However, while not required, registering a copyright creates a public record of ownership to protect your work, stay in control of how it's used, & take action against infringement.
has an expiration date
A person’s copyright lasts for their lifetime plus 70 years. There are different rules for pieces that are created anonymously or under a pseudonym.
