Trademark and Copyright Law 101
Many companies create trademarks, which are unique symbols or markings that identify a company. In order to get a trademark though, it is not that simple. Usually, a person or company should expect a minimum of 12-18 months to register a trademark. There are multiple steps and processes you symbol needs to go through before being approved. The first step is to file a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It takes on average four months for your trademark to even be looked at by U.S. trademark lawyer. Since it takes so long before they even look at it, it is important you consider hiring a trademark lawyer of your own to help you in the process.
After the U.S. trademark lawyer reviews it, they will either accept and grant you your trademark, or they will send you a letter explaining why it was denied. An experienced trademark attorney can help you get through the first time, so you do not have to resubmit your application and wait another 4 months for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review it. Next, there is an opportunity for public opposition. Assuming no one in the public has a problem, you then have six months to use your trademark or else you will lose your exclusive privileges.
