How to Search for a Trademark on the USPTOWhy bother registering a trademark?
Registering your trademark gives you powerful legal advantages over common law rights:
- The legal right to send cease and desist letters to parties infringing on your mark, with the weight of federal registration behind your claims.
- Presence in the USPTO database, which actively discourages others from adopting similar marks—both intentional infringers and those conducting due diligence before launching their brands.
- Federal coverage across all 50 states, rather than just the limited geographic area where you're actively doing business (which is all you get with common law trademark rights).
Common law trademarks are rights acquired through actual use of a trademark in commerce, without formal registration. These rights allow businesses to prevent others from using confusingly similar marks in the geographic area where the trademark is actively used.
