Registering a Trademark for Initials and/or Numbers

If you want to register a trademark for your business in New York, your trademark may consist of initials or numbers. In fact, initials or numbers may be registered the same way that words may be registered as a trademark. However, if you choose to register initials or numbers, they may not be the same as those that identify a government agency (for example the CIA, FBI, IRS, etc.).

Furthermore, when registering a trademark for your business in New York, initials may not be the same as a government grading system (for example the Department of Agriculture's "grade A" rating for meat). Some examples of successful trademarks that have used initials or numbers include A-1 brand sauces and condiments, KFC for Kentucky Fried Chicken, as well as the convenience store chain 7-eleven.

If you are planning to register a trademark in New York, whether it is a word, a number, an initial, or a symbol, you can get the professional help of a New York trademark lawyer. A New York trademark lawyer can help you throughout the registration process. Furthermore, once you have federally registered your trademark in New York, your New York trademark lawyer can help you protect your original mark from instances of infringements and dilution.
