Can I send you my brand name and/or design so you can tell me whether or not I can trademark it?

@bigsmileyoga3239 3 жыл бұрын

I read the trademarks act twice, dissected the government website on trademarks. I was so perplexed about what merchandise to include in my trademark application... and now this lady cleared it all up as she wakes me up to the fact that I need a copyright. Good thing for people posting good info on youtube!

Hey excuse me ma'am, I got a REALLY good question. ....say there's someone that sells shirts that say "vampires hate sunlight" (just an example) but I go to the trademark database and the words "vampires hate sunlight" are not found or trademarked. If I buy that trademark, who is the legal holder of that trademark? The person who originally thought of it or the person who owns the trademark? 🧐 Thank you

The logo on the front of a t-shirt CAN be a registerable trademark for a secondary source. For example, the primary source (i.e., the shirt's manufacturer) may not own the mark for, e.g., University of Washington, a federal registration might be obtainable for clothes in class 25 having a U of W mark on it. In this instance the marks indicates a secondary source. See TMEP 1202.03.

So the best decision is to copyright instead of trademarking a logo so it can be protected beyond class 025 (clothing) to avoid people using it in different classes?

@allupinyobiz 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not talking about all logos. Not all would be protectable under copyright, it depends on the logo. And more importantly, it depends on how it's being used But ya, a work that is protected by copyright cant be used by anybody else.

Wouldn't it be just easier to say, "a trademark is a company identifier"? A trademark is a word, phrase, or image that when seen you know the company. If what you have does not identify you as a business it is just a design.

I feel like saying "a trademark is a company identifier" is kind of like saying "a trademark is trademark." "Company identifier" is just another word for trademark, not the definition (IMO). BTW, I didn't say "just copyright that shit" because you CAN'T always just copyright it. Not every logo/design counts as a creative work eligible for copyright protection. Thanks for watching!

@@allupinyobiz I just feel like when you're talking to a layman, saying the same thing in a different way helps them understand better. It's like when you try to explain what a water hose is to somebody. you can tell him the term water hose but if they don't know what it is you have to explain it's a tube that moves water from one place to another. I just have a little experience explaining terms to people so they can understand it in terms that they know. One of my favorite is trying to explain an IP number for computer to somebody who doesn't know. If you explain it like it's a phone number for your computer. People just get it.

Because down the road im hoping its successful enough that I could create my own products in house, but for now I will be purchasing blanks and having my design printed on them but there will be various designs, not just one, so would I have to protect every design I make?

mandrell211 wrote, “…can you have a copyright and a trademark on a logo?” It’s possible for a logo to receive a registered copyright and a federal trademark. However, for the US Copyright Office to issue a copyright Certificate of Registration, logos *really* need to include a good amount of creativity (think *lots* of artistic design!). About 20,000 copyright registration applications get rejected each year, as they don’t include a sufficient amount of creative expression. Logos that merely include the following attributions are typically not copyrightable: A simple, common design; a logo just containing text (words, scripts, lettering); or a repetitive pattern; or geometric shapes and other recognized symbols (like a circle, $-sign, the Yin-Yang Chinese symbol, musical symbols); or punctuation marks (like the exclamation point, question mark, asterisks); or directional/navigational symbols (arrows, airplane symbol on a map); or Public Domain symbols like the peace sign or gender symbols affixed to bathroom doors; etc. In short, design your logo with *plenty* of creativity (make it look artsy); otherwise, the US Copyright Office may refuse your registration. To determine if your logo qualifies for a registered trademark, hire *“180 Law Co. LLC”* !

Eeeech! Good grief. All of this is overwhelming to me. In my mind, a "trademark" is a design or an image. Of course, when I go shopping, I usually buy the goods based on the quality of the product, not on the "trademark," "image," or whatever. I guess I'll be needing to retain the services of a good patent-trademark attorney, to navigate the nuances if this system. Good video, by the way. I just don't get it. Oh, well.
