How to Trademark a Logo

Having a unique logo is one of the best ways to establish your brand. Once you’ve created your company’s identity, you need to protect the design by trademarking it. The easiest way to do so is by letting a trademark specialist handle the process for you. You’ll want to get started as soon as the logo is created, as the trademark process can take a minimum of six months to complete.

Is your logo available?

Check to make sure that your logo isn’t being used by someone else, doesn’t look too similar to another company’s logo, and isn’t too generic. You can search the Trademark Database to look for similar trademarks and logos to ensure your design is uniquely yours.

Alternatively, you can hire Trademarks, Etc. to do a broad based search covering FEDERAL and STATE trademark databases. We will search your desired Mark and variations of your Mark in your specific classification.

Trademark Your Logo

Once it is determined that your logo is clear to be trademarked, Trademarks, Etc. will file a trademark application with the USPTO. The terms required by the USPTO to describe the logo are very specific, so it is best to hire a qualified trademark specialist to fill out the application.
