A trademark isn’t just limited to a business name. It can also be a symbol, logo, phrase, image, design, or a combination of all of these elements. Obviously, a trademark cannot be similar to any other existing trademark. Granted, a trademark could use similar words as another mark, as long as the two do not confuse consumers. All you need to do is make sura that the mark is:

Cease and Desist Letter A customized form that can be used if someone infringing on your
mark.
Cease and Desist LetterA letter sent to someone you believe is infringing on their mark. It is not a court order and it does not have the same effect as an order. However, it usually provides notice to the infringing party and gives them an oppurtunity to cease and desist (i.e stop) using the infringing mark to prevent the filing of a lawsuit. If the infringer continues to use the mark despite the cease and desist letter, you may be able to recover additional damages if you end up filing a lawsuit. |

Transfer & Assignment LetterLike any other business asset, you can sell, license or assign your trademark.

If you use our Standard or Deluxe Package, we can help you with a transfer of the trademark. Sometimes, individuals register the mark before a company is officially set up. Then, once the company is formed, you need to transfer the mark into the company. We can help with that too. |

You will require the following documents to register your trademark: 1. A soft copy of the trademark that needs to be registered 2. The date of the first time you used the mark 3. The description of all related services and products 4. The complete details of the applicant
You can easily stop someone from using your trademark if you can prove that you were the first user of the trademark and that both names are bound to create confusion among consumers. Of course, the Federal Registration will have a better mechanism to stop infringers. You will also have common legal rights to stop them while you conduct legal business.
Any person that claims to be a proprietor of a mark or is proposing to own the idea can apply for trademark registration. The application should clearly state the trademark, the services or goods, the address and name of the application and the period of use of the mark with a signature.
The answer to this question will differ from agency to agency and based on staffing changes and enhanced technologies at the US Patent & Trademark Office. If you’re asking us specifically, you can count on the entire application process to take from 9-to-12 months.
It can take up to 10 years. Also, the registration can easily be renewed so long as you have made sure to maintain an uninterrupted use of your trademark in interstate commerce.
If you have a federally registered trademark, you will be able to use the ® symbol. For every other mark, whether unregistered or registered, you will not be required to add a designation. However, we always advise mark owners to attach the ‘SM’ or ‘TM’ symbol to let the industry know that your company name, logo, or symbol is proprietary to your services or goods.
