Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How do I avoid expensive conflicts over trademarks on the Internet?

Answer:
Before a domain registration, be sure to do a Trademark Search, especially if it concerns fantasy names or a composite name derived from fantasy names.

Question: Do you need to be a corporation to obtain a trademark?

Answer:
No. The trademark applicant is the one who owns the mark. Normally the person who produces the goods or who renders the services related to the mark controls the use of the mark.

Question: How do I find out whether the mark I’ve chosen is already registered?

Answer:
It is strongly suggested that you search federally registered trademarks and service marks, since a federally registered mark generally preempts a state issued registration.
