Texas registrations expire after 5 years unless the registrant submits a renewal to our office during the last 6 months of the 5-year registration period. A mark must still be in use at the time of the renewal. See Form 902. Owners of registered marks are responsible for enforcing their rights to their marks.
You can have both a trademark and a patent, though they won't be for exactly the same thing. A trademark can protect a creation's name, for example, and a patent can protect the actual creation itself.
Key Differences of Patents and Trademarks Purpose: Patents protect inventions, while trademarks protect brand names, logos, and other identifying factors. Granting Authority: The government grants patents to inventors, while businesses use trademarks to identify and distinguish their goods or services.
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.
