Trademarking product and service names.
A company’s products can be protected by trademarks, its services by servicemarks, but it is common to refer to both as trademarks. In general, the less a trademark describes your product or service, the more likely it can be registered. The hardest part is choosing a good trademark. BASS BLENDER would be a bad name – too descriptive. BASS-O-MATIC is a little bit better.
Clock Tower Law Group’s trademark portfolio includes four main categories of trademarks:
A trademark is just that – a mark of a trade. Something that identifies the source of the products or services being offered. If a trademark is being used to identify the source of a company’s goods/services, then it can be registered with the the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
