What can I expect from my trademark?
-
Ownership of the Mark: A registered trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with the goods or services specified in the registration. This prevents others from using the same or a confusingly similar mark within the same industry or market.
Nationwide Protection: In many jurisdictions, including the United States, a federal trademark registration offers nationwide protection, even if the mark is only used locally.
-
Ability to Sue for Infringement: Trademark registration provides legal grounds to sue others who use the mark (or a confusingly similar one) without permission. This can help prevent brand dilution and consumer confusion.
Injunctions and Damages: Courts can issue injunctions to stop infringers from using the mark and, in some cases, award monetary damages for infringement.
-
Public Notice of Ownership: Trademark registration publicly notifies others of your ownership, making it easier to deter potential infringers.
Use of the ® Symbol: Once registered, trademark owners can use the ® symbol, signaling to competitors that the mark is legally protected. This symbol serves as a visible deterrent against unauthorized use.
-
Customs and Border Protection: In some jurisdictions, registered trademarks can be recorded with customs authorities, allowing them to block the importation of counterfeit goods bearing the mark.
Reduced Counterfeiting Risks: A registered trademark helps prevent counterfeit goods from entering the market, protecting brand reputation and consumer trust.
-
Brand Recognition: A trademark distinguishes a brand, building recognition and loyalty among consumers. This makes the brand more valuable over time.
Transferability: Registered trademarks can be licensed, sold, or franchised, providing additional business opportunities and revenue streams.
-
Domain Name Disputes: Trademark registration strengthens a brand’s ability to claim or reclaim domain names that include its mark, protecting the brand from cybersquatters or those attempting to profit from the brand’s online presence.
Trademarks and Business Success
Research shows businesses that own trademarks generate 55% more revenue per employee compared to those without IP rights.
Trademarks also correlate with higher business longevity. A study of 2.5 million businesses revealed that businesses with trademarks are more likely to stay active longer than those without any registered trademarks.
“Trademarks, not patents, are the foundation of our modern economy.”
“Your brand is the single most important investment you can make in your business.”
