A trademark is a mark used to create a link in the customers mind between the product and the source of goods (trademark owner). This is very powerful in protecting your sales and marketing efforts and your reputation as a supplier of quality goods, commonly known as goodwill. Goodwill created in the customer's mind by associating the mark with the source of goods can be the most valuable asset to a company.
Let us sit down with you and look over your marketing plan as it relates to Trademarks. You can apply to reserve a Mark and hold the reservation after a Notice Of Allowance for up to 3 years with paid extensions.
This is meant for you to develop the product or service associated with the Mark while having confidence in how you will present your company to the Customer.

A comprehensive clearance search means checking a variety of resources to determine whether your trademark conflicts with other existing trademarks.
You should search for trademarks that are confusingly similar to yours when used with goods and services that are the same as or related to yours. Doing this can help you avoid costly and time-consuming issues, such as:
- A refusal to register based on a likelihood of confusion with a registered trademark for goods or services related to yours
- An opposition proceeding to prevent registration of your United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)-approved trademark or a cancellation proceeding against your trademark registration
- A trademark infringement lawsuit

If the mark "JAMES" is registered for use with sandwiches, always use the mark as JAMES. Do not use JAMES's to show possession, and do not use a nickname, "JIMMY".
keep the mark maintained in the Trademark Office.
To protect your mark, you must file a Section 8 declaration, specimen of use, and a fee on specific anniversaries of the registration. In this way, your registration may stay registered forever.
You also must use demand letters and litigation to prevent others from using your goodwill.
