Why should you obtain a trademark?
You can establish rights in a mark based on use of the mark in commerce, without a registration. However, owning a federal trademark registration on the Principal Register provides several important benefits. Here are some specific benefits of having a federally registered trademark:
-
Constructive notice nationwide of the trademark owner's claim.
-
A legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and your exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration.
-
The ability to bring an action concerning the mark in federal court.
-
Registration can be used as a basis for obtaining registration in foreign countries.
-
The right to use the federal registration symbol ®.
-
Registration may be filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods.
-
Listing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office's online databases.​
