My understanding is that you can use the TM on anything you believe you created.  However, the Circle R can only be used on things that you have officially registered with the US patent office and received the ok.  Filing for a registered trademark is about $700 (last time I checked) and takes about 8 months to be approved, if it is approved at all.  Do remember that the USPTO will not research your trademark for you.

Contact the BBB office that you registered with.  They have a Membership Identification Program that allows members to to use the logo for advertising.\n\nIf you aren't a BBB member, using this logo is a violation of U.S. Patent and Copyright laws that the BBB is aggressive in enforcing.

Registered, copyright and trademark.  They all mean that the product or name cannot legally be used by another company.

Do you have a name in mind for your new baby bottle design? Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry. \n\nHere's what Wiki has to say about a brand & I liked the definition so I wanted to share it with you here:\n\n"In marketing, a brand is the symbolic embodiment of all the information connected with a product or service. A brand typically includes a name, logo, and other visual elements such as images or symbols. It also encompasses the set of expectations associated with a product or service which typicaly arise in the minds of people. Such people include employees of the brand owner, people involved with distribution, sale or supply of the product or service, and ultimate consumers."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You need a patent and trademark.  Copyrights are for ideas, not "things."  You'll have to do some searches through the U.S.P.T.O (u.s paten/trademark office) and then register.  once that's done, you can use the ® .  there are plenty of resources out there.  go to www.uspto.gov\n\n©

Search your state website, then federal trademarks or trade names; check with local BBC and Chamber of Commerce; State Comptroller site, etc. Start search at local and state level, then search nationally. Use several  search engines as some will find different sites. Good luck.

The brand name which reaches well across the world is termed as branding across the borders...there might be companies in ur area which is familiar only in ur locality nd it has no value when u go outside it...a few companies have its branch all over the world and does good business at all the places that too without needing to change its name for any region where they establish it!! Hope u got it!!

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

Whichever name you choose for your new business, you will want to ensure that it is legally available. This entails conducting comprehensive trademark and common-law research. If both steps are clear, you can then decide if you want to file for a State or Federal trademark.\n\nFor further details and/or questions, please contact me at:\n\n800.340.2010\ndc@tmexpress.com\nwww.tmexpress.com\n\nThank you!\n\nShannon Moore

There are a couple Logo/name printers specifically designed for this process.  I'd suggest the phone book and call to see who has this item.  It is fairly economical (5 or 10 dollars) and should do what you need it to do.  EBay has them from time to time as well.  Ask for golf ball logo/name printer/stamper.  You simply arrange the letters and ink them on the ball.
