USA Trademark Application: Overview
A trademark, which protects the brand name of a business, can include a word, symbol, logo, or any combination used to distinguish the respective products and/or services from similar ones in the market. Trademark protection is territorial and exists only within the boundaries of the country in which the trademark has been filed. Entities looking to expand their business internationally must ensure that their trademark is adequately protected in the respective countries where they intend to start their business. One of the leading economies on the planet, the United States of America has its own federal law and respective state laws pertaining to trademarks and a centralized governing authority called the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

In addition to these documents, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) may require additional information, such as a statement of use or a declaration of incontestability.
