Frequently asked questions about trade names and brands

What is the difference between a trade name registration and a trademark registration?

A trademark registration is done at the state level and only allows a company to legally operate under that name within that state. A trademark registration, on the other hand, is applied for at the federal level and grants the owner exclusive rights to use that trademark throughout the country.

Some states require all businesses operating under a name other than the legal name of the owners to register a trade name. In other states, this is only required for certain business structures such as corporations and LLCs.

Trademark registrations are typically valid for a limited period of 1-5 years and must be renewed periodically by paying a renewal fee.

The application fees at the USPTO are between 250$ and 750$ per class of goods, depending on the application form used. In addition, attorney, search and design fees totaling approximately 1,000$ to 3,000$ may apply. Renewal fees are incurred between the 5th-6th and 9th-10th year and every 10 years.

No, the use of the ® symbol is only permitted for trademarks that are registered with the USPTO. After a brand name registration, you may only use the symbols ™ for trademarks and ℠ for service marks.
