Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Trademark a Logo?

Yes, you can trademark a logo to protect its use as part of your brand identity. A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights, preventing others from using similar designs in commerce.

Trademarking your logo ensures it serves as a unique identifier for your business. It keeps your brand protected from infringement and helps distinguish your goods or services from those of your rivals. For instance, a trademarked logo builds trust and recognition among your customers.

Key requirements for trademarking a Logo

  1. Uniqueness: The logo must be distinctive and not resemble existing trademarks.

  2. Use in commerce: The logo should be actively used to represent your products or services.

  3. Non-functionality: It cannot be a functional design element but should serve as a brand identifier.
