PHILADELPHIA TRADEMARK Lawyer 

Helping Clients Complete the Trademark Process in Pennsylvania 

Whether you've started a new business or you're rebranding your current enterprise, you may find yourself in need of a reliable and experienced trademark attorney. Trademarks are brand identities unique to a product or service. When a company, service, or branded product becomes associated with an identifying symbol or name, that identifier is called a trademark. Access to a word, phrase, or logo makes it easier for businesses to stand out in our expansive marketplace. A product's connection and identifier are legally protected once trademarked. The trademark isn't for the benefit of the business or product but to prevent consumer confusion and quality inaccuracies. If your business needs trademark protection, the Four Rivers Law Firm Attorney are here to help.

Trademark Guidelines

Trademarks can include business names, logos, slogans, and domain names, but it’s not legal to trademark the names of people, places, or specific words. Acquiring a trademark requires registration through the state, federal, or common law use of the trademark. Registration goes through the United States Trademark Office (USPTO), and it carries valuable benefits against those seeking to copy or infringe upon a business’ identity.  

Selecting the Right Trademark

The primary purpose of a trademark is to serve as a unique identifier for a brand, service, product, or entity, so the essential part of choosing a trademark is selecting one that will stand out from others in the marketplace. The less distinctive and singular a trademark is, the less beneficial it will be to a business or its consumers. 

Other essential points to remember when selecting the correct type of trademark are. Product marks or trademarks should help consumers identify a specific product, brand, or service. The trademark serves as a marker for consumers to help them recognize a company’s goods. A product mark imbues all the qualities for which a company is known. So, if a company has a good reputation, a product marker can serve as a stamp of quality for an entity. Product trademarks come in the form of logos, names, or symbols. Service marks are like trademarks. Their only difference is that they aren’t used to identify a service but to protect how consumers view it. A service mark protects intellectual property by preventing other businesses from using the identifying marks of a company to confuse consumers. To retain trademark rights, the owner must show that the mark is used for marketing and selling goods and services.
