Trademarks
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods from one party from those of others. The US Patent and Trademark Office reviews trademark applications and determines if they meet the necessary federal standards for registration. The USPTO has published a guidebook, “Basic Facts About Trademarks” which can be accessed here:
