Why Trademark Searches & Monitoring Matter
You may not realize it, but there are crucial things you must do prior to seeking a trademark and after securing one. Before submitting your trademark application to the USPTO or the Texas Secretary of State, you should conduct a comprehensive trademark search.
Typically, this involves:
- A search of the USPTO database, state trademark databases, and relevant business directories
- Checking for similar marks via online resources to confirm there are no pending or registered marks similar to your own
Why conduct a search? Doing so enables you to avoid needless conflicts with others using a specific name, logo, or brand feature. If you fail to perform an adequate search, you could face expensive legal consequences.
Once your trademark is registered, it should remain solely yours. Should someone start using a name, logo, or slogan similar to yours in the same industry, their actions can cause confusion and dilute your recognition. As such, it is vital to monitor for instances of infringement so that you can take appropriate action. Additionally, you should know when your trademark expires (generally after 10 years) and take care to renew it before the expiration date.

Why Intellectual Property Matters for Your Business
In today's competitive marketplace, protecting your intellectual property (IP) is more crucial than ever. From startups to well-established companies, safeguarding your unique ideas, products, and brand identity can mean the difference between success and failure. Without proper IP protection, businesses risk losing their competitive edge and facing costly litigation.
Here are some reasons why investing in intellectual property protection is essential:
- Safeguard Your Innovations: By securing patents and copyrights, you prevent others from using your inventions or creative works without permission.
- Enhance Your Brand Value: Trademarks build brand recognition and consumer trust, making it vital to protect your brand identity in the marketplace.
- Attract Investors: A solid IP portfolio can increase your business’s valuation and attract potential investors who see the value in your proprietary assets.
- Increase Revenue Streams: Licensing your intellectual property can create additional revenue opportunities, allowing you to monetize your innovations effectively.
- Avoid Costly Legal Battles: Proactively managing your IP rights can help you avoid disputes and the associated legal costs.
At Shark Mark, our knowledgeable team of intellectual property lawyers is committed to helping you understand and leverage the full potential of your IP assets. Schedule your consultation with us today to secure your business’s future!
