Why Registering a Trademark is a Smart Business Decision
There are many good reasons to register a trademark. First, a trademark can be a valuable asset to your business and help you protect your brand and products.
If you have a strong trademark, it can deter others from using your name or your mark. It can also help you to enforce your rights if someone does infringe on your brand.
In addition, a registered trademark can give you some legal presumption in court that your mark is valid and that you are the rightful owner of the mark.
Finally, registering your trademark can put the public on notice of your claim of ownership of the mark, which can help to prevent others from adopting a similar identity. In addition, it can help build brand awareness and eventual customer loyalty.

Here’s A Fraction Of What You’ll Benefit If You Register A Trademark
You will get exclusiveness of use
With trademark protection, no one can copy your registered trademark without your permission. That means your company will ensure it is the only one exploring the brand for marketing and overall communication reasons.
Your company will protect its most valuable asset
Your brand is often the most valuable asset of your company. This is the way your customers will tell you apart from your competitors. Also, this is the asset that will become the repository of your audience trust and serve as the emblem of your business growth and consolidation.
You'll be able to file suits of Trademark Infringement
If someone misuse your registered trademark you can be entitled to damages. This will bar others to use your brand and keep your competitors from exploring it on their marketing campaigns, often with negative connotation.
You will always own the brand
If you do not own the registered trademark rights, someone else might stop you from using it. Losing a brand can cost a lot to a company because you would be losing the intagible assets that supports the place you have in the market.
You can avoid expensive rebranding
Without the legal brand protection, another company can register before you do. If that is the case, it is quite easy for them to penalize you on using the protected brand. Finally, you will be forced to rebrand, losing a lot of what your business strategy has conquered so far.

4 Easy Steps To Register
Your Trademark
File Your Application
Comprehensive searches and an attorney opinion allow our clients to make informed decisions before filing a trademark application. We ensure your application meets the requirements of registration so the chances of it being accepted are maximized.
Publication
Publication begins a 30-day period during which any member of the public who thinks they’ll be harmed by the registration of your trademark may oppose it. If no one opposes your trademark during the publication period, your application proceeds to the next stage of the registration process.
File Proof of Use
Trademark registrations are valid for 10 years but may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods upon proof of continued use. We monitor renewal deadlines, and then handle the renewals and Declarations of Continued Use upon receipt of the required information from you.
Your Trademark is Registered
Once your trademark is registered, we can set up watch services in any country to alert you to new applications for similar trademarks. These may infringe or dilute your trademark rights, and we will advise on opposing these applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I register trademark?
Federal Registration is not required to establish trademark rights as “common law” rights arise from the actual use of a trademark, even without registration. However, there are many benefits to federal trademark registration, including (1) constructive notice to the public of your ownership of the mark; (2) establishes legal presumption of your ownership of the mark; (3) the ability to bring a trademark litigation action related to your trademark in federal court; (4) can be used as a basis for obtaining international registration; (5) can be filed with U.S. Customs to prevent the importation of infringing foreign goods; and (6) allows for use of the â symbol to alert the public to your federal registration.
Do I need to do a trademark search?
Most likely. You, or someone acting on your behalf, should consider conducting a preliminary search of the USPTO database before filing your application to identify whether anyone is already claiming trademark rights in your mark (or a similar mark) through federal registration. Your search should also include a general Internet search to identify any common-law uses of your mark or a similar mark that could predate your use. Failure to conduct a proper trademark search before filing your application may result in an inadequate assessment of whether your mark should be filed and a rejection by the USPTO Examiner.

How long is the registration process?
It is difficult to predict exactly how long the trademark registration process will take, since many factors can impact the amount of time required. Generally, an applicant will receive a filing receipt from the USPTO almost immediately upon filing its application and often will receive substantive examination from the USPTO within approximately 4 months after filing the application, with most applications proceeding to registration in just under one year. However, total time to registration can last anywhere from six months to one year or longer depending on your basis for filing and any issues that may arise during the registration process (such as the existence of other, similar marks for similar goods and/or services).
What is the lifespan of a trademark? Do they expire?
In order to obtain a valid registration, one must file a Declaration of Use with the USPTO between the fifth and sixth year following registration and within the year before the end of every 10-year period after the date of registration to maintain the registration. So long as a Declaration of Use is timely filed, registrations granted before November 16, 1989 have a 20-year term, while registrations granted after November 16, 1989 have a 10-year term. There is no limit to the number of times a trademark can be renewed provided that the owner’s use of the mark is continuing.
Do I have to file for a trademark in the U.S. before applying for one internationally?
There is no requirement that you must first file for trademark registration in the U.S. before filing an international registration. However, you should file in the country where you are currently using the mark to secure protection where it is most urgently needed. Additionally, most countries have international treaties that allow for filing foreign applications on the basis of an original country registration and/or application. An experienced trademark attorney can provide advice for best protection strategies under the particular circumstances and provide a game plan for the most effective, efficient, and cost beneficial protection.
