Protecting your Business Name and Logo for your Products and Services – What are Trade Marks, Service Marks and Copyrights?

So, you have the next best ideas for making a fortune . . . . ?

Are you about to set-up your business or you have just done so?  Or, maybe you’ve been in business for a while but have a new flash of brilliance.  Or you see that your business is expanding and people actually recognize your company name and logo?  Do you have a great product with a name that is special and you don’t want anyone else to use it?  Do you have a jingle, a poem, a written work, a piece of art or photo, or a song that is unique?  Do you have a long list of recurring customers that fuel your revenues?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, your business has a case of “Intellectual Property.”  No, this is not a bad disease.  It is one of your money making tools – and perhaps your best asset.  How should you protect this important resource?

When you have a unique, or catchy, or special name or a logo that is associated with a product you make or a service you provide, you can protect against anyone else using that name or logo with other similar products or services they sell.

If you have written a jingle, or written some piece of literature, or have a beautiful original piece of art or photo you can protect against others using it for their benefit unless they get your permission and usually pay you a license fee or royalty.

You have a case of “Intellectual Property” and need specialized legal guidance to put in place appropriate legal protections to stake your ownership claim and ensure no one else can use that intellectual property.
