Don't lose your trademark rights because you didn't protect them with a trademark registration.
Your trademark is your business signature, whether it's a special logo design, a word, or a catchphrase. Failure to protect this with a trademark registration can involve your business in costly and time-consuming disputes. Learn what you have the right to protect and how to protect it to save yourself needless worry and expense.
Don't lose your brand because it's violating someone else's trademark rights.
Others' trademark rights extend beyond their exact mark and beyond their exact goods. This means that your proposed trademark may infringe on someone else's mark, even if it's not exactly the same. It doesn't have to be identical to infringe. Learn where the boundaries are, and how you can avoid choosing a mark that infringes upon the rights of someone else. Avoiding trademark conflicts is good business.
