Basic Facts 01: What Every Small Business Should Know Now, Not Later
This simulated presentation features reporters from the USPTO's news broadcast-style video series, the Trademark Information Network (TMIN). While the set-up is staged for educational purposes, the information provided is real.
This video is a must for anyone interested in starting a business to sell a product or offer a service, as well as attorneys who are new to trademarks. It highlights the important role of trademarks in that process, including a discussion of how trademarks, patents, copyrights, domain names, and business name registrations all differ. It gives guidelines on how to select the right mark--one that is both federally registrable and legally protectable. It also explains the benefits of federal registration and suggests resources if you need help with your application. By the end of the video, you'll understand why having a trademark component of your business plan is critical to your success.
