What Is a Trademark?
A trademark is any word, name, symbol, design, or combination used in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one party from those of another.
Under the Lanham Act, a properly registered trademark provides evidence of exclusive ownership, nationwide protection, and legal tools to enforce your rights against infringers.
Examples of trademarks include:
- Brand or business names
- Logos and emblems
- Taglines or slogans
- Product packaging (trade dress)
- Unique colors, sounds, or designs (if distinctive)

Why Register a Trademark?
While common law rights are granted through actual use, federal trademark registration offers stronger legal protection, including:
- Exclusive nationwide rights to use your mark in connection with your goods/services
- Presumptive legal ownership and validity in U.S. courts
- Right to bring action for infringement in federal court
- Public notice via the USPTO database
- Right to use the ® symbol
Registration not only protects your intellectual property—it strengthens your brand’s credibility and value.
What Can Be Registered?
To qualify for registration, a trademark must be:
- Distinctive (not generic or merely descriptive)
- Used in commerce or intended for use in commerce
- Not confusingly similar to existing registered marks
Registrable items include:
- Names of products, services, or businesses
- Stylized logos and designs
- Slogans and phrases
- Packaging, shapes, or distinctive brand elements
Goods and services must be properly classified under the Nice Classification System, as required by the USPTO.
