Trademarks
Trademark Lawyer Beverly Hills | Protect Your Business Identity
A trademark is a word, symbol, or phrase, used to identify a particular manufacturer or seller’s products and distinguish them from the products of another. 15 U.S.C. § 1127. The trademark “Nike,” and the Nike “swoosh,” both identify the products made by Nike and distinguish them from products made by other companies (e.g. Adidas). Similarly, the trademark “Coca-Cola” distinguishes the carbonated beverage of one manufacturer from the brown-colored soda of another (e.g. Pepsi). When a mark is used to identify services (e.g. “Jiffy Lube”) instead of products, they are called service marks. The law treats both types of marks similarly.
Sometimes, protection can extend beyond words, symbols, and phrases to include other aspects of a product, such as its color or its packaging. The pink color of Owens-Corning fiberglass insulation and unique shape of a Coca-Cola bottle can serve as identifying features. These features are generally called “trade dress,” and may be protected if consumers associate that feature with a particular manufacturer instead of the product in general. A trademark lawyer at the Beverly Hills office or other locations of the Omni Legal Group can assist you in determining whether you may be able to protect one of these identifiers of your business.
Distinct identifiers of your business have value and goodwill associated with them.

You will have an opportunity to ask questions to make sure your trademark application is filed properly the way that you want it.
