Federal Trademark Registration
Federal trademark registration through the USPTO provides nationwide protection and stronger enforcement rights. It is generally the preferred option for businesses operating online or across multiple states.
- Nationwide priority rights
- Right to use the ® symbol
- Stronger enforcement tools
- Amazon, Google and marketplace protection advantages
- Ability to pursue counterfeiting damages
Georgia State Trademark
Georgia state registration may help businesses operating only within Georgia, but protection remains limited to the state.
Common Law Trademark Rights
Trademark rights may arise automatically from use in commerce even without registration, although enforcement can be substantially more difficult.
