Business owners have a variety of resources that can help them protect nearly any type of proprietary intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks.
A trademark will generally apply for any word, phrase, design, symbol, or combination thereof which helps distinguish the source of the goods. If your business provides services rather than goods, a service mark will act in the same manner as a trademark. An experienced NJ trademark lawyer at our Bergen County law firm can help you navigate which protection you need for your product and business.
If you own a business, chances are you have a number of names, symbols, or slogans that you wish to protect. This could include brand names, logos, advertising slogans, and many other types of wording or identifiers. In the United States, you can effectively protect this intellectual property by registering a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.
