Why to Protect Your Trademark
Some of the whys:
Questions to consider:
-
why did you select the trademark?
-
do you like the trademark?
-
does the trademark add value?
-
does the trademark impact the bottom line?
A trademark is a product-source
or service-source identifier. It’s a brand name or logo. It’s what the people
who are or might become your customers/clients remember, hopefully.
A trademark is the handle
steering folks to your products, your services, your business.
If your trademark was well
selected, it has that something special –
-
it attracts
-
it sets the right tone
-
it is remembered
-
it is repeated.
If so, the trademark works and
is one of your primary marketing and selling tools. Lose the trademark and
you lose the value and bottom-line impact.
To keep your clientele:
-
to keep them finding you when they search for the
trademark
-
to keep them from following the trademark
elsewhere
-
to keep them recognizing something unique in the
trademark
To keep your trademark
To keep your business good will
-
trademark loss leads to perception of business
discontinuity
-
trashed trademarks foul your business
-
good will advantages convert to bad will
disadvantages
If the trademark means nothing
to your business, why protect is a good question. If the business is
succeeding, go back to the top and reread.
