Attendees will learn:
-
The five steps you must follow in selecting a name for your business
-
“Common law” trademarks vs. “registered” trademarks
-
Federal vs. state trademarks vs. service marks
Prior to the webinar:
Go to https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search, click on “Search Our Trademark Database”, and do a “Basic Word Search” on a name you would like to trademark. Click on one the registered trademarks that show up and see which product/service categories it’s registered for.
