As a business owner, you need to understand the importance of trademarking your business name. It gives your business a unique identity and prevents others from using it. This protects the identity of your firm.
If you have dreamed of owning a business (or are working towards it), the first step is to ensure that you understand how trademark requirements can help protect the business identity. Ask yourself the following question:
How do you Trademark Your Business Name?
If you know how to trademark a business name, then there isn’t much to fear. It is a three-step process which involves conducting trademark research, filing an application, and responding to any issues that may arise.
1. Conduct a Trademark Name Search
This search will help you spot a potential trademark problem before you file your application (or invest time and money in your businesses). If you conduct thorough research work to find an appropriate business name, there is a strong probability that you will find the perfect one.
A comprehensive search includes indexing business directories, databases and the internet to identify names that are the same, or appear to be same, as the business name you have chosen.
2. Filing an Application Form
Next, you need to file an application form with the concerned department. You can choose to apply online using the Trademark Electronic Application System. Your application must include the name and address that you want to protect. Be prepared to document your goods and services. You will be charged an application filing fee.
3. Respond to Office Actions and the Oppositions
Once you have filed the trademark application, it will be examined and reviewed by the attorney. If there are any issues related to the application, you will receive a letter from the office with a list of actions that you may need to complete to obtain a trademark. Applicants need to respond within the given deadline or the application will be rejected.
