Trademarks 101:


If I trademark my company/product name, does that mean nobody else can use it?

The main purpose of a trademark is to prevent confusion in the marketplace, ensuring that consumers will know who is behind a certain product or service. That's why trademark protection only applies to a particular category of goods and services. Nike Inc. owns the mark on a variety of shoes, clothing, sporting goods, etc. But there’s also a Nike Corporation that’s involved in hydraulic lifting jacks and other heavy machinery. There's really no risk of a consumer confusing those two companies.


Trademarks are not a name; a trademark is a name PLUS its goods or services. ... Trademark only restricts competitors in the same industry from using your ... In other words, are you selling the same or similar goods/services?



Trademarks are obtained by use. ... If someone has a common law trademark, they have certain rights EVEN IF THEY DO NOT REGISTER THEIR TRADEMARK.


A trademark is initially valid for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of registration
