Unregistered vs. Registered Trademarks
There are many components that distinguish a registered trademark from a registered one. These include:
- A registered trademark is registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
- A registered trademark is marked with a ® symbol.
- If a trademark has this symbol, it cannot be copied by other organizations in the nation.
- Any intellectual property can be deemed an unregistered trademark.
- Unregistered trademarks are marked with the ™ symbol.
- Unregistered trademarks are determined and assigned by the company and developers of the intellectual property.
- Both trademarks are protected under the law.
When making the choice to protect your trademarks, there are a number of options to consider. Because of this, it can be very beneficial to get the support and assistance of a legal professional who has experience with business and trademark law.
