Why Apply For a Trademark?
Proper use of a trademark can help prevent others riding off your good name. But why register a trademark?
- Your registered trademark allows you to use "®" to notify others that you are asserting trademark rights.
- Your registered trademark can be used as proof to show that you own the trademark.
- A registered trademark can be used to demonstrate to others that your trademark has been examined and meets all requirements.
- Later filed trademark applications that are confusingly similar to yours should be rejected during the examination process.
- Trademark registrations can be used in takedown procedures at various online stores such as Amazon and eBay.
