Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How do I protect my company logo?

Answer:
You may register your logo with us as either a trademark or service mark, depending on the nature of your business.

Question: I want to complain about a company. Can I use their name and logo?

Answer:
Yes. While trademark law prevents you from using someone else's trademark to sell your competing products, it doesn't stop you from using the trademark to refer to the trademark owner or its products.

Question: My spouse owned a trademark registration and has since died. Do I own it now?

Answer:
This depends on state law, so the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cannot provide a definite answer for all factual situations. You should consider contacting an attorney, preferably one specializing in trademark law.
