FAQ
So, getting your Federal trademark comes down to meeting the same four trademark requirements: No conflicts with other trademarks. Trademark distinctiveness. Use in commerce. The capability to be a source identifier.
There are certainly cases in which the same name can be used by two companies because no customer confusion will result. An example of this is when both companies are involved in very different industries. For example, perhaps you are starting a sandwich shop and the other business is a tech company.
Does my business need a trademark? The use of the name used to register your business with the state can provide some trademark protection, but only if the business can provide documentation that it was the first in its industry to use the name.
In the United States and some other jurisdictions like Canada, using a name in commerce can establish "common law" trademark rights, even if the mark has not been officially registered with a government agency like the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Your company name is the official name under which your business is registered, representing its legal identity. While a trading name acts as an alias that can be used for commercial purposes, it isn't a legal title.
While an LLC offers personal liability protection, it does not automatically trademark your business name. To ensure comprehensive brand protection, it's advisable to pursue both avenues.
Trademark, Service Mark or Trade Name can be filed online via SilverFlume or you may complete the applicable form and follow the submission instructions for manual processing.
For the most part, any living person can apply to trademark their personal name to build their brand identity. Celebrities and public figures frequently trademark their names to maximize control over their public image.
