WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?
A trademark is a designation of the source of goods or services (i.e., who made it or provides it). It's not necessarily your business name but could be!
It is a word, phrase, symbol, or design (or combination) that distinguishes the goods/services of one party - so that the public knows who is selling it. Your MARK is usually related to a product or service that you're selling or want to sell in the future (yep, you can reserve your trademark even if you aren't selling yet!)
EXAMPLES OF REGISTERED TRADEMARKS
- TRADEMARKS B-School®: Marie Forleo's online course - courses and coaching are the services
- Absolut®: Spelling and bottle shape is trademarked, product is vodka
- A Lit up life®: The brand name of one of the best biz coaches around, Lacey Sites
-
Digital Course Academy®: Amy Porterfield's online course

See what others have to say about working with Sarah and Destination Legal!
Working with Sarah to get our company name and products trademarked couldn't have been an easier process if we tried.
All I had to do was ask Sarah for a trademark and she handled all the rest of the details with impeccable communication throughout the process.
We've been able to secure 3 trademarks successfully by working with Sarah. Her legal expertise shone through whenever an obstacle popped up during the process and we easily landed all our requested trademarks.
Receiving trademarks has given us the security of knowing that our company name and product names are protected as we continue to grow and build brand recognition for our company under those names.

FAQs
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
How long does it really take?
The full trademark registration process and approval can take anywhere from 6- 18 months (average is less than one year).
What's a trademark class & do I need more than one?
A 'class' is the goods or services you are selling that will be connected to the brand. For example, Starbucks is protected under Class 030 for coffee and food. If you are a coach, your services would be coaching, online training, etc. I will help you figure this out (Classification is one of the main parts of the application process that can get screwed up by trying to do it on your own!) Each class has a filing fee of $225.
Will a trademark keep someone from using my name?
A registered trademark will mean that you own the right to use that name in your particular business niche - while it doesn't mean you can keep the world from using the name, once you have the trademark you CAN stop others from using it in their business if they are selling similar goods or services. Read more about trademarks here.
Does a U.S. trademark protect me internationally?
No - however, you can register in multiple countries. There is an application that allows multiple countries once you have do that initial application with the USPTO. If you want this, we can chat!
Do I need a lawyer for this?
No, anyone can file an application for a trademark. BUT (and that's a big but) the application process can be complicated and if the USPTO has ANY questions at all and sends an initial refusal, it can be super confusing for someone that isn't an attorney. Sadly many people jump ship and think their mark was refused for good, but really they might just need to make a good legal argument!
Is registration guaranteed?
Unfortunately not! However, I won't proceed with your application unless I'm 99% confident there is a high chance of approval. If I determine its not a good bet, I will issue a refund, minus $299 for the cost of the initial search and determination. Note - there is no guarantee that any search will uncover all possible conflicts.
My business isn't in the United States, do I need a U.S. Registered Trademark?

"We loved how Sarah walked us through the whole trademarking process and we didn't have to worry about all of the paperwork and follow ups. I don't know if we ever would've gotten around to it ourselves unless we hired her to handle everything - it was so easy! We have peace of mind and so much pride to see our brand trademarked and were so thankful for Destination Legal for making that happen!"
