Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How do I find out if I need patent, trademark and/or copyright protection?

Answer:
Trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied to products or used in connection with services. Trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark.

Question: What is a trademark?

Answer:
A trademark includes any word, name, symbol, device, logo or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods.

Question: Can the ownership of a trademark be transferred from one person to another?

Answer:
Yes. A registered mark, or a mark for which an application to register has been filed is assignable. Written assignments may be recorded in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a fee.
