Question: What are Trademark rights?

Answer:
Trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark, but not to prevent others from making the same goods or from selling the same goods or services under a clearly different mark.

Question: Is a business name the same as a trademark?

Answer:
No. A business name, as distinguished from a trademark, is used in connection with a legal or tax entity. A trademark, on the other hand is used in connection with a product or service.

Question: What should I look for while searching for a logo?

Answer:
If your mark incorporates a design or logo you must search for trademarks that might be confusingly similar. Use the index in the back of the Design Code Manual to locate the appropriate six-digit code.
