Your trademark is any word, name, symbol or logo that is used in association with goods. Your service mark is a mark used in the sale or advertising of services. Both have the effect of distinguishing your goods or services from others.
Brand recognition is one of the most important marketing advantages in launching a product domestically or worldwide. Establishing appropriate protections to facilitate that brand recognition requires judgment and experience and an understanding of the bottom line.
