Trademark Law

Intellectual Property - Trademark Law

Definition:

Trademarks are forms of intellectual property which protect the identifying marks that distinguish goods and services. In order to be considered a trademark, the identifying mark must be known by consumers. Trademarks protect consumers by avoiding confusion of who to deal with and purchase from.

Consequences of Trademarks:

Trademarks are judged on priority basis, meaning the first person to come up with and use that identifying mark has the right to claim that mark. It may be a difficult process to attain trademark protection if your business deals with multi-state operations. The federal registration process is complex and you may need assistance in planning your claim.
