HOW TO TRADEMARK . . .

- a word
- a phrase
- a logo

A US Trademark Application can protect a word, a phrase, a log, and even a color. This article explains how to trademark these elements.

A US Trademark Application requires at least the following information: the name and address of the owner; the mark itself; the type of goods or services to be used with the mark; and the type of use, i.e. actual use or intent-to-use.

If the trademark application is based on actual use, then the date of first use in interstate or international commerce is required. If the owner is a corporation, the state of incorporation is also needed along with the name of the person who has authority to sign the trademark application.

A trademark search is strongly recommended. Skill is required in interpreting the results, since even identical trademarks can be registered if they are in sufficiently different classes of goods/services.
