Trademarks are a super popular topic, but here is what nobody tells you about Trademark Registration.
Filing for a trademark does not mean you will get it. Trademarks are like college applications you apply in hopes of acceptance. Trademark applications do get rejected, that is why it's highly recommended to work with a trademark attorney to increase your odds of success.
There are a lot of trademark scammers. These are people who are not attorneys offering trademark services (illegal unauthorized practice of law); people who "help" to file your trademark or even organization claiming you owe them money once you file your trademark.
There is no such thing as a worldwide or universal trademark. When filing a trademark, you must show usage within that market. Furthermore, no global trademark offers you worldwide protection and coverage.
Even though your Trademark Application will never expire; you will have to continue to show proof of usage every 10 years. Except for the first time in which you must show usage six years from your registration.
On average, the trademark process takes 12-16 months to complete from start to finish. Trademark registration is important for all business owners, and it is important to file as soon as possible because the timeline can be extensive.
Filing with an attorney increase likelihood of success for your trademark application. That is why the trademark office recommends that you work with an attorney. Message me today to get started with a Trademark attorney with a 100% registration success and share with a friend.
