Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How long does a trademark last?

Answer:
Rights in a federally-registered trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark on or in connection with the goods and/or services in the registration and files all necessary documentation.

Question: How do I find out if I need patent, trademark and/or copyright protection?

Answer:
Trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied to products or used in connection with services. Trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark.

Question: Does registering a trademark or service mark give exclusive rights to the mark?

Answer:
Registration in and of itself does not guarantee exclusive ownership of a mark. You would need to consult private legal counsel for an answer specific to your circumstance.
