Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Do I need to translate my trademarks into a foreign language?

Answer:
No. When translating text/documents into another language, the trademark doesn’t need to be translated. Often there is no literal translation of the term, and the significance of the trademark is not how it translates.

Question: Do I have to register my brand name to get trademark rights?

Answer:
Not in the United States. Here, you do not need to register a mark to establish rights to it, though registration provides significant advantages. Registering a mark makes proving your rights easier in court.

Question: How do I find out whether a logo is already registered?

Answer:
In order to determine whether any person or company is using a particular trademark, a trademark search can be conducted. Over 70 Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries located throughout the country.
