What Benefits do Trademark Names have for my Businesses?

Introduction

Choosing a business name is an important decision that can have a big impact on your brand. Fortunately, trademarking offers some protection against other businesses using your name and potentially infringing on your intellectual property rights.

Why Having a Great Business Name is Important

Having a great business name is important because it shapes the first impression your potential customers have of your company.

In the digital age, customers are increasingly using online search to find and connect with businesses. As such, it’s crucial that your business name is memorable so you can be found easily. Customers will remember your name, and this can help you stand out from the competition. A memorable business name can also make it easier for your customers to share their experience with others—and by extension, help grows your brand and increase sales.

The name you choose is going to be part of your Brand Identity

• Take your time. It’s important to pick a name that will work for you in the long term, so don’t rush into choosing a new name. If you do decide to change it later, people might have trouble adjusting.
• Don’t be afraid to change your brand identity if the one you currently have isn’t working. Sometimes this means changing both your logo and tagline (or slogan). You can always go back and take another look at social media posts or blog articles from when your business first started up again after making any changes as well.
• Don’t use trademarked terms for businesses that already exist. This will give off an unprofessional vibe. You could also get sued by one of these companies. Finally, though most importantly don’t use names that are too similar sounding because then confusion will arise.

Ensure that the Brand you choose is not confused with similar Brands

The first thing you need to do is make sure that the name you choose for your brand will not be easily confused with other brands in the market. This is especially important if your business sells similar products or services as competitors.

If you’re unsure about how unique your brand name is, try searching Google and see how many results come up when someone searches for it. If there are only a handful of results, that means no one else has thought of using it before. However, if hundreds or thousands of businesses have already used this name, then maybe it’s time to rethink your strategy. Not only can such similarities cause confusion among potential customers but they also increase the chances of infringing on another company’s trademark rights.

A Strong Brand Name can help Inspire Trust in your Brand

The name you choose for your business is going to be part of your brand identity and will stay with you for a long time. It’s important to choose a name that conveys the quality of your company because this first impression can make or break your business. A good brand name will also be easy to remember so that customers don’t have any trouble finding information about it online.

While there isn’t one perfect way to pick a strong trademarked name—each market is unique—there are some best practices that apply across industries:

• Avoid abbreviations and numbers in trademarks (e.g., “Apple” instead of “AAPL”). These are harder for customers to read than words, so they’ll have trouble remembering them later on if they don’t know what they stand for already.
• Avoid using common words in your trademark. These are more likely to be confused with other brands, and they’ll also be harder for customers to remember because they already have other meanings. Finally, don’t try to make a play on words that may not make sense out of context.

Consider these Factors when Brainstorming a Trademarked Name

When you’re brainstorming a trademarked name, here are some factors to take into consideration:

• Make sure your name is unique. You don’t want to be confused with other companies or products, especially if you plan on expanding your services or product line in the future.
• Make sure it’s easy to read and pronounce. If people have trouble saying your business name, they may not remember it as easily when they need help from someone else.
• Make sure it’s easy to spell (especially for international clients).
• Check for potential conflicts with existing trademarks – this can be done through legal research or just asking someone who works in corporate law or intellectual property law.

Here are some things not-to-do:

• Don’t use slang terms like “the bomb” unless you want everyone on Earth calling their company “the bomb.” The same goes for using names that might offend certain groups of people. This includes racial slurs and curse words. In general, avoid any words that could be construed as offensive by anyone—it’s better safe than sorry.
