A trademark helps brand your products and services, identifying them as uniquely yours. Trademarks help customers distinguish your brand and business from competitors. Trademark protection can cover different categories of intellectual property like business names, product names, taglines, logos, or symbols.
Our comprehensive trademark search service can help you confirm your mark is unique before you file a trademark application.
A trademark search, conducted through the trademark electronic search system, is an important first step in the registration process. It involves searching existing registered trademarks to ensure the one you want to use isn’t already taken. It’s also a way of checking for a potentially conflicting trademark—a trademark that’s similar to the one you want to use. We offer a trademark search that checks existing trademarks and pending applications on federal, state, and international levels, as well as for common law use and online appearances.
To trademark a logo, you first need to make sure it’s unique and doesn’t infringe on any existing registered trademarks. This is best accomplished through a complete trademark search for the proposed logo. You can apply for your trademark once you’ve confirmed no one else is using something similar.
When you trademark a phrase or word—such as a slogan, motto, or tagline—you need to do a trademark check first to make sure it’s unique. Then, you can file an application with the USPTO. Not all phrases can receive a service mark—trademark attorneys can advise further once we’ve completed your trademark search.
Federal registration of trademarks lasts 10 years, as long as you file a statement that the mark is still in use between the fifth and sixth year. Trademarks can last indefinitely if you continue to file maintenance documents with the USPTO. You can use our trademark services to regularly check your trademarks against existing and emerging marks to address any conflicts quickly.
Trademark registration costs vary based on factors like how many classes of goods and services you want to register your mark in and whether you hire an attorney to help. Working with an experienced trademark attorney from LegalZoom’s own law firm, LZ Legal Services, costs almost 75% less than working with a traditional offline attorney.**
