FAQ
Trade names and trademarks can be the same but mean two different things. A trade name is the name of a business. A trademark is a name, symbol, word, design, or a combination of these things that denotes a specific product or brand and communicates exclusive ownership. A trade name can be used by other companies.
The six basic requirements for trademark registration are: Identify the trademark owner. Specify whether the trademark owner is a business or person. State whether the trademark is in use or there is a real intent to use. Provide a drawing of the trademark. List the products and/or services sold under the trademark.
To register a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), you will need to fill out and submit a trademark application. You can do this online, through the USPTO Trademark Center, an online trademark filing service, an attorney, or by submitting a paper application.
Filing Length: Trade Names last for 5 years from the date of receipt. Trademarks last for 10 years from the date of receipt. Prior to expiration, you have up to six months to renew your trade name or trademark.
A trade name, commonly known as a “DBA” (Doing Business As) name, is exactly what the name suggests: a name that an individual or entity engages in trade under/does business as. In Arizona, trade names are registered with the Arizona Secretary of State online for $10.
A trademark can be any word, phrase, symbol, design, or a combination of these things that identifies your goods or services. It's how customers recognize you in the marketplace and distinguish you from your competitors.
A good trademark should be distinctive and unique, setting it apart from competitors. Distinctiveness allows consumers to easily identify and associate the mark with your brand. It should avoid common or generic terms and instead incorporate elements that are memorable, creative, and unconventional.
