When you invent a product or service, you may want to protect it. Trademarks are used to prevent other people from using your mark in some way.
Trademark Registration can be done for words, symbols and designs. They’re also called “trademarks” because they’re just like trademarks on paper: they identify the source of a particular good or service (like Coca-Cola). A trademark is not limited to just words; it can contain any kind of graphic symbol or design as well!
About Us | Press Releases | Advertising | About Us | Contact UApplication: Any person who owns or is interested in a trademark may apply for trademark registration. The Principal Applicant must be a citizen of the United States, or a corporation, partnership or other organization organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. Trademarks cannot be registered merely to benefit an attorney, law firm, accountant, medical practice or other professional service provider. The application must be signed by the Principal Applicant and include all fees prescribed in published rules. There are no restrictions on the number of applications that can be filed; however, you can only file one application per class of goods/services (see “Class” below for complete definition). For more information about applying for your mark click here How to use a Trademark: To protect your trademarked product or service, you’ll need to register it. Once registered, your mark can’t be used by anyone else without your permission. So what actually happens when you apply for a trademark? The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) needs to see some information about the product or service. It will usually ask for details about the name of the product, how people are expected to understand it and what it does. You’ll also have to tell them if other people might be confused by this mark. You may also need to show them examples of how people are using your trademark in commerce before you can register it as a trademark.
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies the source of a particular good or service.
A service mark is similar to a trademark but it does not have to be represented in commerce at all times; it can be used only for the purpose of indicating and distinguishing your business from others.

A service mark is similar to a trademark but is limited to closely related products and services like restaurant and hotel operations. The owner of a service mark uses it on labels, signs or other similar items to identify their business as the source of that particular product or service.
A trademark can be used in any field where there are potential buyers of goods or services that you’re selling; however, this doesn’t mean you have to register your own trademarks with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). Instead, if someone else has already registered their trademark on something similar–even if they aren’t using it themselves–it may cause problems down the line when trying sell something under those same names.
A federal trademark application is the first step towards obtaining a federal trademark.
Once you file an application, it will be reviewed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The USPTO will send you a notice telling you whether or not your application has been approved or rejected; if it’s rejected, they may ask for more information or clarifications on certain parts of your filing.
Once approved, however, your federal trademark registration becomes effective immediately. This means that anyone who uses similar marks on their goods or services can be sued for infringement by competitors who also want to use those same trademarks in their own goods or services (i.e., as long as there isn’t some sort of exclusivity agreement in place).
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is an agency of the Department of Commerce that includes all federal trademark applications in its electronic database, the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS). TESS is a searchable database of all U.S.-registered trademarks, including both service marks and trademarks. In addition to searching for registered marks, you can also use TESS for background searches on unregistered trademarks that are currently in use by another party; this will help identify any potential conflicts before they arise so that you can take action quickly if necessary.

The USPTO will check the search to see if your application meets certain requirements including being not being confusingly similar to another existing mark. This can take 6 months or longer, depending on the complexity of your application.

The first step in registering a trademark is filing an Intent to Use (ITU) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). You’ll need an ITU because there are more than 20,000 active trademarks and service marks registered in all categories, including industrial design; services involving advertising; business services such as financial planning and brokerage; restaurants & bars; retailing goods & services through catalogs/the Internet etc., so it’s important that you file early enough so that no one else has filed before you do!
