Wrong! Too often a new company will assume its name is legally clear merely because
it was able to purchase a dot com or other Domain extended name. It is believed that
if the dot com name was not legally available, they could not buy it.
While the exact name may be available to purchase as a Domain Name, this does not mean that the name is legally available. Only Comprehensive Research will tell you if the name is truly available, because conflicts and similarities may actually exist thereby affecting your legal use.
Comprehensive legal research starts with the researching of billions of name records to find those that may legally affect your intended commercial use. Direct conflicts or merely uses which are merely similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning are fully analyzed by our expert staff.
TradeMark Express comprehensively examines the USPTO trademark (2 million marks) State trademark (1 million marks in 50 States) as well as Common-Law "first use" (13 million marks) in up to 6500 paid research databases. Related goods or services matter as well!
Many people mistakenly believe that the first step to take when starting an online business is securing the Domain Name. While securing the Domain Name is of utmost importance, the next step to take is to ensure that the name is legally available.
Don't make the mistake of assuming no one else owns rights to your Domain Name - only comprehensive research will tell you! Let TradeMark Express help you. Contact us now for a free consultation!

If you have an existing Trademark or just Common Law rights merely by using your business name, slogan or logo over time - be aware that you will give rights to another business simply by doing nothing for 5 years. Acquiescence happens by doing nothing, and not enforcing your rights over a 5 year period. To prevent this disaster, we urge periodic comprehensive research or our year round monitoring service. We offer both. Call us to discuss! |

Having a trademark will achieve added protection against other companies' future names, slogans or logos that are conflicting or even merely similar in sound, appearance or meaning, as well as ownership rights as protected by the USPTO. Having a trademark makes it much easier to protect your intellectual property, when you can simply show
your registered or pending USPTO trademark.
A trademark is like having a silent attorney actively protecting your intellectual property 24 hours a day! Trademarks last 5 years, and are indefinitely renewable in the 5th year, then the 10th year, then every 10 years after that. You still need to actively protect your intellectual property, because the USPTO will not do that for you. We offer a monitoring service or we recommend that you should run your comprehensive research every 2 years to find infringing companies to your property. |
