As your business grows, you becomes a bigger target with more risk.
Every year, the Federal Trade Commission reports millions of dollars of scam fraud.
Scammers find successful businesses, position themselves as those businesses, and make money off of borrowed, false business identity.
1. If you don’t already have the trademarks you need, someone could register a trademark for your brand and prevent you from using it. This happens.
2. People want to use your brand for their benefit especially as it becomes more known and income generating. A trademark lets you protect your intellectual property.
3. Internet theft of business brands and use in illegal imitation marketing are up almost two times what they were prior to 2019. Online phishing (the phony mimicking of legitimate brands for illegal internet marketing) is a threat to your business.
4. Other businesses with a similar name or logo may confuse your customers. Even the slightest similarity can cause this. Think how easy it is to confuse Quick Trip and Kwik Trip. Trademarking a business name or logo helps you avoid customer confusion because only names, logos, and other IP different enough will be trademarkable.
Why would a competitor put the work into creating a great brand when they can piggy back off yours?

Office Action (Rejection Letters)
In our experience, every trademark application inevitably receives a rejection letter, formally called an office action. To overcome these, the applicant must argue their case with the USTPO through email. They will submit proof that their trademark is unique enough from existing trademarks to pass inspection. Let us handle office actions for you.
What if there was a professional solution that made the whole process easier and successful!
