What Is a Trademark Name?
Trademarks must meet specific legal criteria in order to be registered. These include:
✔ Being clearly distinguishable from other existing marks
✔ Being used as an adjective—not a noun or verb
These distinctions help your Florida business create a strong, enforceable brand that holds legal weight.
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 Florida?
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 Florida?
Florida’s competitive and growing economy, a trademark helps you stand apart from competitors and protect your identity from being copied or misrepresented.
Once your business has built credibility, a trademark keeps that reputation safe. In Florida, where consumers value trust and consistency, legal protection helps prevent others from using your name to promote subpar offerings. A trademark helps you maintain the integrity and visibility of your brand.
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 Florida Business Today!
