Fort Worth Trademark Infringement Attorney
Your trademarks are crucial to the success of your business. Trademarks and servicemarks provide the public with the ability to associate your business with its products and services. They can include words, names, symbols, sounds, scents or colors that identify the source of goods and services and distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others.
At the trademark law firm of Gagnon, Peacock, Shanklin & Vereeke, P.C., our Dallas trademark attorneys can help you register and protect your trademark. To discuss your case in a free consultation, call us at 214-736-1334 (toll free at 888-312-1750) or send us an e-mail.
The rights associated with a trademark and trademark logo can exist solely on the basis of a business' or seller's use of them. You need not register your trademark with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office to have rights in the mark. As long as you use the mark in commerce, you retain specific rights. However, federal trademark registration can provide your business with additional legal protection, as well as additional legal benefits by providing notice to the public of your claim of ownership in the mark. There are two types of federal trademark applications:
- Use-based. Actual use by the applicant of the mark in interstate commerce within the United States
- Intent-to-use. A bona fide intention on the part of the applicant to use the mark in interstate commerce within the United States
Registration also provides a legal presumption of nationwide ownership and grants your business rights to use that mark in connection with the goods or services, which you describe in your trademark application.
Our Texas trademark lawyers can assist you with registration of trademarks or servicemarks for products or services in almost any business, whether that business is a lawn care service, restaurant or bank. Let our trademark lawyers assist you in obtaining trademark protection for your business. Additionally, we provide trademark licensing counseling and representation.
