Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How do I find out if I need a patent, trademark or a copyright?

Answer:
Patents protect inventions, and improvements to existing inventions. Trademarks include any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used in commerce to identify.

Question: Do you need to be a corporation to obtain a trademark?

Answer:
No. The trademark applicant is the one who owns the mark. Normally the person who produces the goods or who renders the services related to the mark controls the use of the mark.

Question: Why should a start-up company care about trademarks

Answer:
Although their first product launch may be years away, new companies need to pay attention to trademark protection. Trademark rights in a company or product name should be locked up as soon as possible.
