As long as your trademark's distinctiveness identifies your product and services, you may claim trademark rights for your unregistered trademark and stop others?even bigger companies?from using your mark, but only in your geographic area.

A federal trademark lasts 10 years from the date of registration, with a potentially unlimited number of 10-year renewal terms. So, every 10 years, the owner of a federal trademark registration must renew it with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Using the trademark symbols TM, SM, and ® You can use ?TM? for goods or ?SM? for services even if you haven't filed an application to register your trademark. Once you register your trademark with us, use an ® with the trademark.

A trademark may be applied for before a product or service is offered for sale (the mark for registration is merely asserted to be intended for eventual use in commerce), or upon or after actual use (the mark is used on goods and services being offered for sale).

Every time you use your trademark, you can use a symbol with it. The symbol lets consumers and competitors know you're claiming the trademark as yours. You can use ?TM? for goods or ?SM? for services even if you haven't filed an application to register your trademark.

Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. The federal registration symbol should only be used on goods or services that are the subject of the federal trademark registration.

What does it mean to sign a binding contract? A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties. Contracts explain the obligations of signatories (the people signing contracts) and also state what happens when they don't meet the contract's agreements.

Acceptance: This is done when the seller agrees to supply the goods or services. The acceptance may be in words or an action (for example, if you signed a written agreement accepting the terms and conditions).

Contracts are the method businesses and others use to make agreements. A contract must be signed by both parties in order to be valid. Once a contract is signed, it is considered valid, and both parties must fulfill their part of the deal. Contracts are essential in all areas of business.
