Protect your brand with US federal trademark filing

A comprehensive trademark search helps identify existing or pending marks that may conflict with your proposed brand. Reviewing similar names, spellings, designs, and related industries before filing can reduce the risk of objections, delays, or avoidable filing expenses.

Trademark monitoring tracks newly filed applications for marks that may resemble your registered or pending trademark. When a potential conflict is identified, you receive an alert so you can review the application and determine whether further action may be appropriate.

Section 44(c) may be available when an applicant owns a valid foreign registration for the same trademark covering the same or related goods and services. The foreign registration generally must come from the applicant’s country of origin and meet USPTO requirements.

Copyright registration creates a public record of your ownership claim for eligible original work, including writing, artwork, photography, music, videos, and software. Timely registration may also provide important enforcement benefits if someone copies or uses your work without permission.
