Q: how do I apply to trademark a logo?
A: Depending on how a trademark will be used, trademarks may be registered in your state or nationally via the USPTO. Some businesses also register their trademarks in other countries. You can review information about the process at the USPTO website. It is recommended that business owners work with trademark attorneys to guide them with the complicated process as well as assist with a trademark clearance search so that you do not inadvertently use a trademark that is confusingly similar to another trademark being used for the same or related goods or services which could result in a claim of infringement.
A:
Hello, to file for protection for your logo (on the Federal level) you can submit an application online via the USPTO at the following link: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-application-process/filing-online/initial-application-forms
You will need to file the trademark as a "design mark", submit a copy of the logo, evidence of use of the logo in commerce (if applying as an in-use application), applicant information, and the required government filing fees.
