What is a Trademark?
A trademark protects the brand names or logos used on goods and/or services that a company offers. It is generally a word, phrase, symbol, design, or a combination of any of these that identifies the source of the goods or services of one company from that of another. At The Patent King™, we are committed to providing cost-effective trademark counsel to help you create a brand strategy that fits your goals, timeline, and budget. Keep reading to learn more about trademarks, and contact our team to find out if a trademark registration is right for you and your business.
Why Register a Trademark?
There are a number of reasons why registering a trademark can be beneficial for your business. For one, a trademark can offer protection against an infringement suit. It also can add value to your company, give notice to your competitors and the public of your rights in your own brand, and strengthen the legal protection of your mark, whatever it may be. Basically, your registered trademark is proof of ownership of the service or good that your business is offering.

What is the Difference Between Goods & Services?
When it comes to registering for a trademark, the difference between goods and services can sometimes get confusing. Are your customers purchasing a product or a specific activity? If your customers are purchasing a product such as a candle, t-shirt, or book — you have a good. On the other hand, if your customers are paying you to mow their lawn, repair a bicycle, or clean their home — you have a service. When applying for a trademark, you can list both goods and service if you’d like. It’s important to accurately describe your goods and services when filling out your trademark application. Our team at The Patent King™ is here to help.
