What Is a Trademark?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that corresponds with a specific brand. Trademarks can take the form of company names, logos, and slogans, and can include elements like colors and even sound. The moment you start using a trademark in connection with the sale of goods or services, it receives legal protections.

TM vs. R

Trademarks can be identified in two ways: subscript TM for unregistered and state marks, or ® for federally registered marks.

Why Does My Business Need a Trademark?

Your business needs trademarks so that important elements of your brand have legal protections. If another company starts using a logo that looks like yours, for example, having proof that your trademark existed first will provide a legal advantage. Proof of trademark ownership can take many forms, and trademark registration is a sound piece of evidence.

But proof of ownership is just one reason to seek trademark registration. While unregistered and state trademarks have some protections, federal trademark registration through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) imparts additional benefits, including:

Use of ®

Only trademarks registered at the federal level (and some international levels) have the right to use the “R inside a circle” symbol. This designation provides additional security and consumer trust.

Ability to sue

While common law (unregistered) and state registered trademarks have some rights, their owners cannot sue for trademark infringement in federal court. Trademarks with federal registration can sue at the federal level.

Greater geographical protections

Common law trademarks have rights in their region of operation. State trademarks have rights in their state of registration. Federal trademarks have rights nationwide.

Presence in federal database

Once a trademark application is submitted to the USPTO, it lives in a publicly accessible database. This makes it easier for others to know your trademark already has a rightful owner, which helps discourage infringement and other misuse of your mark.
