Trademarks

What is a trademark?

A trademark is a symbol, word or phrase that uniquely identifies a particular company or individual. Most people are immediately familiar with such trademark symbols at the “Nike swoosh” or trademark brand names like “Band-Aid.”

Trademarks should be registered with agencies including the United States Patent and Trade Office for legal protection. Once a company or individual successfully registers a trademark, a circled “R” or the abbreviation “Reg. TM” can be legally imprinted on a product or slogan. Companies and individuals who have registered a trademark may pursue legal avenues to protect it.
