What Is a Trademark Name?
To be approved, your trademark must follow key legal guidelines, including:
✔ Being unique and not easily mistaken for existing trademarks
✔ Serving as an adjective, not used as a noun or verb
These distinctions help your Edison business maintain a strong, enforceable brand identity.
A great example of this is . . . “Do you have a Q-Tip?” Instead, you’d say: “Do you have a cotton swab?” Similarly, you shouldn’t ask someone for a "Kleenex” but instead, for a tissue.
Ideally, a trademark should also be:
- Easy for people to pronounce
- Not too long
- Recognizable or not too complicated
- Simple by design
What Is an Example of a Trademark in Edison?
You may be surprised to learn that company and product names aren't the only things you can trademark. You can also trademark a:
- Symbol (example: McDonald's "M" or Golden Arches symbol)
- Slogan (example: Burger King "Have It Your Way" line)
- Colors (example: Target's Red Bullseye)
- Sound (example: NBC three-note chime)
What Are the Benefits of Trademark Registration in Edison?
Registering a trademark is crucial to keeping your brand distinct and avoiding confusion in the marketplace. In Edison, where many businesses operate in similar spaces, a registered trademark stops others from piggybacking off your success or misleading your customers. It also helps preserve the value and recognition of your brand.
When your brand is known for quality, you want customers to associate your name with that standard. A trademark ensures that no one else can use your name to sell lower-quality products or services. In Edison, where business reputation can make or break a deal, a trademark reinforces your brand and protects your good name from being diluted by imitators.
Having the official ® (registered trademark) service mark next to your name adds credibility and validity to your brand. Contact Empire Business Law and Get The Help You Need For Your Edison Business Today!
