What does a trademark mean?

A trademark means that a business name, brand name, tagline, logo, symbol, or design is registered with the USPTO, and that its use by others is restricted. Registering a trademark is a legal process of providing protection against competitors who want to copy your branding.

What’s the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

While copyrights and registered trademarks both help protect your intellectual property, they are used for different things.

Copyright

Copyrights protect creative works

Copyrights cover creative works such as stories, poems, song lyrics, movies, and even software code.

Copyright is automatic

As soon as you create a piece of art or pen the lyrics of a song, you establish ownership. There is a legal process that you can—and should—use to gain better legal protection.

Copyrights expirer

A person’s copyright lasts for the length of their life plus 70 years. There are different rules for pieces that are created anonymously or under a pseudonym.

Trademark

Trademarks protect brands

Copyrights cover creative works such as stories, poems, song lyrics, movies, and even software code.

Trademarks need to be registered

While you gain some protection as soon as you start using your brand name and logo, you need to register a trademark with the USPTO to really protect your brand.

Trademarks can be renewed

As long as you renew your trademark—after the first five years, then every 10—it will not expire.

How to trademark a phrase

Using a distinctive phrase connected with your business—such as a slogan, motto, or tagline—can help improve your brand recognition. To prevent other companies from using your phrase, you can register a trademark for it—starting with a comprehensive search. However, not every phrase can be trademarked, not everyone can trademark a phrase, and registration does not provide complete protection. A trademark attorney can advise you on the best next steps for registering a trademark for your particular phrase.

How to trademark a name

Your application must be filed with the USPTO, and it must include:

  1. The name and address of the mark’s owner
  2. The name you want to protect
  3. The goods or services that you want to register your name for
  4. Whether your name is already being used in business (“in commerce”) or you haven’t started using it yet (“intent to use”)
  5. A label or a package (the “specimen”) that shows your name in use if you’re filing your trademark as “in commerce.” (If you file as “intent to use” you will need to provide your specimen later and pay additional federal fees.)

How to register a trademark for a name and logo

You can register a trademark for a logo that includes your name, but the logo and name together will be considered one trademark. If you want them protected individually, you’ll need to file two applications. Using your logo does automatically give you common law trademark protection—but for full legal protection, you should file a trademark application. There are many nuances in the trademark registration process so it’s always helpful to get guidance from a trademark attorney.

What you can and can’t trademark

What you can trademark

  • A name like Nike
  • A logo like the swoosh logo
  • A slogan like “Just do it”

What you can’t trademark

  • A song, book, film, or other original creative work. Get a copyright instead. 
  • An invention like a technical process, machine, manufactured good, or chemical formula. Look into a patent.

What are the common reasons a trademark is rejected?

To avoid delays in the trademark registration process, here are some potential roadblocks to trademark registration you should be aware of:

  • You can’t register a trademark for non-business purposes.
  • You can’t register a generic or descriptive name, as your trademark name has to be distinctive or unique in some way to be approved.
  • You can only trademark a brand name that you’re using in business or that you intend to use in business in the near future.
  • The name can’t create a likelihood of confusion among consumers.

Trademarks can be rejected when your name is too similar to another registered mark or one that’s pending. This is because consumers could get confused and mistakenly believe they come from the same source. That’s why every trademark application must specify the type of goods or services where that trademark will be used.

How much does a trademark cost?

If you choose to work with a traditional attorney on a trademark application, expect to pay an hourly rate for their services in addition to the USPTO filing fees.

  • The USPTO charges a fee of $250 to $350 per class of goods or services, depending on which trademark application filing option you choose. Your trademark is valid for five years, after which you’ll pay a $525 renewal filing fee per class of goods or services. After that, you’ll only need to renew every 10 years.
  • If you choose to work with us, our trademark package costs a flat fee of $649 (plus federal filing fees‡). This includes attorney-guided trademark registration, attorney calls, and application review for 75% less than a traditional offline attorney.*

Frequently asked questions

Lorem ipsum dolor amet consecte tur. Quis gravida eget diam urna habitant adipiscing.

I found a trademark similar to mine. Can I still register it?

if the other mark is used for different products or services, it might be possible because consumers may not be confused about who sells what.
For example, Delta Dental, Delta Air Lines, and Delta Faucet Company coexist as business names because the products are different enough to prevent consumer confusion.
