First thing's first.
Key Steps to Protect Your Branding Elements is to register a trademark or copyright, or both, to put the entire world on notice of your claim to the exclusive rights in the registered mark or work.
Registering a trademark with the USPTO can be a long process and if an application is “approved for publication” then it has a very good chance of proceeding to registration. However, it’s not quite there yet, and it is important for the trademark applicant to know where they are in the process, to avoid any mistakes that could hurt their trademarks.
