Join us for a discussion about what all entrepreneurs, small businesses, and start-ups should know about trademarks. We’ll discuss what trademarks are, the benefits of federal trademark registration, and the basics of the registration process. We’ll also talk about why it’s so important for any new business to select a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable.

We’ll direct you to free resources from the USPTO and close out the discussion with a question-and-answer session.

Speaker: Mariessa Terrell, Attorney Advisor, Trademarks Customer Outreach, USPTO
