If you never intend to sell your goods or services outside the state of California, yet you still want to have more than just common law trademark protection, a California trademark registration might be the option for you.

Please note that if you are planning on doing any business outside of California (i.e., selling your goods and/or services to customers outside of California via brick and mortar stores, catalogs, the Internet, etc.), it is highly advisable to consider a federal trademark instead, which will afford you nationwide trademark protection, even if you only sell in one other state besides California. You will also enjoy expanded legal powers, such as the ability to stop competitors anywhere in the United States from using your trademark in connection with confusingly similar goods and/or services or in related classes.

So, if you are interested in obtaining a California trademark registration, or simply would like more information, we invite you to call 949-250-5800 or email us to schedule your FREE initial consultation, during which we can explain the trademark registration process to you in more detail and answer any follow-up questions that you may have.
