US Patent and Trademarks Series: Trademark Basics

Event description

Join the United States Patent and Trademark Office as they share this information from the Eastern Regional Outreach Office. 

Participate in the discussion about what all entrepreneurs, small businesses, and start-ups should know about trademarks. We’ll discuss what trademarks are, the benefits of federal trademark registration, and the basics of the registration process. We’ll also talk about why it’s so important for any new business to select a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable. We’ll close out the discussion with a question-and-answer session and direct you to free resources from the USPTO.
