What Is a Trademark Name?
Your trademark must meet legal standards to be eligible for protection. These include:
✔ Being clearly distinguishable from existing trademarks
✔ Functioning as an adjective, not a standalone noun or verb
These details help ensure your Los Angeles brand remains strong and legally defensible.
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 Los Angeles?
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 Los Angeles?
Registering your trademark is essential in avoiding brand confusion—especially in Los Angeles, where many industries overlap. Without legal protection, others may mimic your brand, leading to customer confusion and lost revenue. A trademark helps ensure your identity stays distinct and protected.
Once your brand earns trust, a trademark ensures that no one else can misuse that reputation. In Los Angeles, where branding is everything, legal protection prevents others from profiting off your success or offering lower-quality products under your name. A registered trademark keeps your brand recognizable and respected.
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 Los Angeles Business Today!
