Trademark FAQ
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies the source of a good or service. Technically, a “service mark” distinguishes the source of a service, but the two are commonly referenced by the term trademark.
Do I need to register a trademark?
Valid trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, give the owner the exclusive right to use the mark, and prevent others from using confusingly similar marks associated with the same good or service.
What are the advantages of registering a trademark?
Registered trademarks can be more successfully enforced. Registered trademark holders are also generally entitled to a presumption that they own the trademark and that their trademark is in fact valid.
How are trademark applications evaluated?
On the other hand, the USPTO is likely to reject applications for marks that are merely descriptive of the good or service being sold. For instance, a company that sells heavy duty tires would face difficulty attempting to trademark “Heavy-Tread Tires,” since the name is clearly descriptive of the heavy duty tires being sold.
There are circumstances where the USPTO may still register names which might be considered descriptive, so it is important to talk to an attorney to discuss your options. For instance, some descriptive marks may be registered if the mark is so well known in the marketplace that it has developed “secondary meaning,” as being associated with the relevant goods or services.
