5 Benefits of Trademark Registration

1. National Ownership: Registering your trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) makes you the presumed owner of that trademark nationwide.  There is a legal presumption of your ownership and your exclusive right to use the mark nationwide in connection with the goods and/or services listed in the registration.

2. National Notice: Once your trademark is registered with the USPTO, others are presumed to have notice that you are the owner of that trademark nationwide.

3. Federal Court: You will have the ability to bring an action concerning the mark in Federal Court.

4. Foreign Trademark Registration: You can use your U.S. trademark registration as a basis to register the mark in foreign countries.

5.  Stop Foreign Imports: You can file your U.S. registration with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods.
