Frequently Asked Questions
Who gives trademarks legal protection?
Trademarks receive legal protection from government trademark offices. In the United States, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is responsible for granting and regulating trademarks.
When you register your trademark with the USPTO, it provides nationwide protection under federal law.
Other countries have their own trademark offices, such as the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in the United Kingdom and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in the European Union.
These offices ensure that trademarks are properly registered and enforce trademark laws to protect the rights of trademark owners.
Legal protection can also be supported by state trademark offices and common law principles for unregistered trademarks.
