Q: Hi we have a company but we would like to register our name and logo how we can do this ? thanks

A: You may want to consult with a business law attorney regarding the particular facts in your case. I believe you might be asking about how to register your company name and logo for trademark protection. However, it is possible you may be asking for advice for another matter. If you are seeking trademark protection, please note that there are different levels of protection for a name or logo used as a trademark by a business. You may, for instance, already have established a common law trademark in your company name and logo. Moreover, trademarks can be registered by state. However, many businesses engaged in interstate commerce prefer to file for trademark protection at the federal level with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). A federally registered trademark will give you the best protection for your trademarks. Electronic filing forms are available through the USPTO's website, and you can search the USPTO database to see if you can find any similar marks that might prevent you from filing for trademark protection. Technically, you do not need to be an attorney to file for trademark protection. However, a discussion with an attorney who has handled trademark registrations can help you determine if you might be able to file for federal trademark protection with the name and logo for your business before you spend the time and money filing for federal trademark registration. It is also important to answer the application questions properly so that you can fully protect your business interests. For instance, you might consider whether the trademark should be owned by a particular type of business entity. Finally, if you are doing business internationally, the USPTO's website also allows you to register for trademark protection in certain other countries. It might make sense to speak with an attorney to see if such international registration would make sense for you. Best wishes to you!
