The Benefits Of Registering A Federal Trademark

As an entrepreneur, you will spend days and weeks coming up with a name for your business or products. Because of the effort put into creating the mark,  protecting the brand of your company is a concern for the business owner. As a result there are benefits to registering a federal trademark!

A Federal Trademark is a word, name, symbol, phrase, or slogan used to mark and distinguish goods or services. The mark indicates their origin throughout the United States. The federal trademark prevents others from using your registered trademark and also protects you from others using a similar mark.

The internet and social media advertising is exploding into a common marketing tool that every business today must implement into their business model. The use of a trademark is very important for the protection of your business.

Registering a federal trademark provides several advantages:

1. Public notice to the world that you claim to be the owner of the trademark and/or logo.
2. You will have exclusive use of the trademark and anyone else would have to seek permission and compensate you for the use of your trademark.
3. You are able to bring an action in federal court if someone infringes on your trademark.
4. The U.S. registration can serve as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries.
5. The ability to record the U.S. registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods, and
6. Finally, you will have the right to use the federal registration symbol, which is the R in the circle.
