Your Brand is Your Most Valuable Asset
A company name registration at the ROC only prevents others from registering a company with the same name—it does NOT protect your brand. Trademark registration, on the other hand, gives you the exclusive legal right to use your logo, name, and tagline for your products.
The Benefits of the ® Symbol
Once you file a trademark (TM), you can use the TM symbol. After full registration (which can take 12-18 months), you get to use the prestigious ® symbol, signaling to competitors that your IP is legally protected nationwide.
