Even though state by state trademark registration is possible, usually, business owners prefer federal USPTO TM registration because it provides U.S. nationwide protection with the priority date of TM application. Applicant must satisfy use-in-commerce requirement #smallbiz

It is important to conduct a proper trademark search to determine trademark availability and potential conflicts with 3rd parties. A senior trademark owner in the U.S. maybe able to bring a trademark infringement action against junior competitor on the market #CEO #BusinessGrowth

USE YOUR CREATIVITY to select good name and logo for your TM. Do not limit yourself to descriptive terms. Try to attach particular concept to the logo you choose such as purpose or values of your business. Conduct TM search to make sure what you like is available #SmallBusiness

This trademark reg-n of my client is a good example of a strong fanciful term with a touch of suggestiveness.
Trademark "VALOOM" was registered for various "Graphic Design Services". My client now owns exclusive right to use this TM in the U.S. #graphicdesigners #SmallBusiness

[Sergey Lysenko @SergeyLysenko10]

Tips for creating a strong trademark: (1) Be unique; (2) Never be obvious; (3) Try to avoid generic or highly descriptive terms: (4) Use completely made-up term that nobody has; (5) Be suggestive rather than descriptive #GraphicDesign #SmallBusiness #NFTs

Trademark Owners Beware of Solicitation Gate!

After you file a new trademark application, please beware of scam third-party solicitation inquiries asking you for money or information. Often times, they look like a legitimate communication from USPTO #smallbusinessowners #NFTs

[Sergey Lysenko @SergeyLysenko10]

Engage Your Creativity to Build a Distinctive Brand!

To overcome the issue of descriptiveness in trademark, one may add a new non-descriptive word as part of TM, create a suggestive or unitary phrase as well as come up with a unique one-of-a-kind work of art #NFTs #NFTCommunity
