    Thanks for the information. So we are Trademarking our Name. Apart from that, We have a Logo that is a design that contains common words that represent what our brand or Life style represents. Do the words in the design need to be trade marked too? Or will that be included with the design?

    I went to a multimedia college and the advice we got in portfolio was Trademark the name and copyright the logo. Like you said the trademark protects, regardless of the styling in color choices so when you do change the colors etc. then just get a new copyright. Is that due to expenses like you mentioned or because the Trademark protects more broadly that you only need to copyright your design choices? Love your energy and delivery of your content! ✌️

    Thanks for the video. I am getting confused about TM registration. I read on the USPTO webpage that the usage of a phrase or name creates trade mark rights. So once I start using something, it is technically mine. However, it is not enforceable since it is not registered. Do I interpret that correctly?

    Another good example of a logo taking as much dominance as the actual company name would be Apple. They use that bitten Apple icon on all their products without ever using the actual name. Also thanks for the informative video, very helpful!! 😊

    Hello! How about if someone is in the same exact class code for the trade mark? Hypothetical Example: Their name is “Funny Laugh Button“ could someone come out with “The Original Funny Laugh Button” the same product but a didn’t color button with a different logo on it? Is the law the product getting confused or the name Thanks in advance!

    If you put your trademarked business name in the logo then legally no one can use that, but they can use your logo with a different name. That’s if they have the artistry to make your logo, which is not very easy, depending on the logo. Now if you decide to trademark your name and not the logo, you still have chances to change the logo whenever you feel necessary.
