HIGHLIGHTS
OVERVIEW
A trademark is a recognizable insignia, phrase, word, or symbol that denotes a specific product and legally differentiates it from all other products of its kind. A trademark exclusively identifies a product as belonging to a specific company and recognizes the company’s ownership of the brand.
Similar to a trademark, a service mark identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product, and the term “trademark” is often used to refer to both trademarks and service marks. Trademarks are generally considered a form of intellectual property.
Understanding Trademarks
A trademark can be a corporate logo, a slogan, a brand, or simply the name of a product. Trademarking, however, does contain some fuzzy boundaries because it prohibits any marks that have a “likelihood of confusion” with an existing one. A business cannot thus use a symbol or brand name if it looks similar, sounds similar, or has a similar meaning to one that’s already on the books—especially if the products or services are related.
