What do trademarks cover?

 

A: If you own a business in New York, or plan on starting one, a trademark can help you protect your intellectual property. A trademark generally means any particular mark that is used to identify your business. In this case, a trademark can mean various things, such as a word, a combination of words, a symbol, an image, or even a unique sound.

If you have a question about whether something may be trademarked, you can get the professional advice of a New York trademark attorney.

To obtain a federally registered trademark, you'll need to submit an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A trademark can protect intellectual property such as:

  • • The name of your business;
    • A website domain name;
    • An image;
    • A symbol or logo;
    • A slogan or phrase;
    • Colors that identify your business or brand;
    • A product design;     and
    • A particular way of packaging your product.

When you register your trademark(s), you can look at it as a way of branding your business. This will allow you to build recognition of your specific product or brand. A New York trademark attorney can assist you in this process.

When it comes to navigating the world of trademark law, a New York trademark attorney may help you:

  • • Avoid a conflict with trademarks that already exist;
    • Successfully register your intellectual property; and
    • Defend your trademarks against unlawful infringement.
