Did you know?
Registration of a trademark in the USA provides legal protection for ten years from the date of its certification. Upon ten years, if the owner wishes to continue to operate it unbroken, further charges must be paid to the USA Ministry of Economy.
Since colonial times, state common law has protected trademarks, but Congress did not create a federal trademark regime until 1870. According to the Lanham Act, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regulates trademark registration.

Overview - An Overview of US Trademark Registration
In today's business world, it is increasingly necessary to register your Intellectual Property. Trademarks are represented by words, phrases, or logos that indicate the supply of goods and services in the USA. The Lanham Act governs trademark law in the United States. Trademark rights are mechanically collected when a business uses a name or logo in commerce, and they are enforceable in state courts. In law, material possession is sometimes protected by patents, copyrights, and trademarks, so its owners can gain recognition or financial benefits from what they make. The information processing system cultivates an environment where creativity and innovation can flourish by balancing the interests of innovators and the community.
Registration of trademarks in the USA and their administration at the federal level are governed by the United States Patent and Trademark workplace (USPTO). In addition, each state conducts its own trademark registration for companies based on limited geography and does not need the additional protection offered by the federal registration.
Checklist - Checklist for US Trademark Registration

- Power of attorney letter
- A print and digital version of the proposed Trademark

Process - US Trademark Registration Process
The federal and state registration within the USA relies on:
- First-to-Use System: It refers to the rights of the first person to use a mark for business purposes. Under this technique, the protection isn't very robust
- Intent-to-Use System: Under this application, the mark should be used within five years of filing. However, there will be a couple of privileges attached to this,
- It is not registration that generates rights and priority in the United States, but rather the precise use of a designation as a mark. Therefore, trademark ownership goes to the 'first-to-use', not the 'first-to-file'.
