A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
What is a Service mark?
A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes a service instead of a product.
What are the benefits of Trademark Registration?
- Constructive notice to the public of claim of ownership of the mark;
- The ability to bring an action (sue someone) for infringment in federal court;
- Use of US registration as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries; and
- The ability to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods.
