Why it matters

As Boston's entrepreneurial ecosystem continues to thrive, securing trademark protection is crucial for startups and small businesses to safeguard their brand assets and prevent consumer confusion.

The details

Trademarks are a form of intellectual property protection that allow businesses to identify and distinguish their goods or services in the marketplace. To qualify for trademark protection, a mark must be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The process typically takes 8-10 months and involves an initial review, examination for distinctiveness, and a publication period for potential opposition. Cohn Legal assists clients in conducting trademark clearance searches, evaluating risks, and preparing applications for submission to the USPTO.
