Q: Where to go to register my trademark in the USA?What are the costs to register my trademark?SincerelyGeorgii
Is it really necessary if I already bought a domain name, to also register it as a trademark before I can get copyright and trademark protection in the USA?
Does the USA not follow a common-sense approach whereby the first user and inventor of a phrase or trademark enjoys automatic legal protection?
A:
It can be absolutely necessary to federally register your trademark when in the USA.
Domain names do not equal federal trademark rights.
Feel free to consult with an attorney if you need additional information or help.
