A trademark \u201ccan be any word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of these things that identifies your goods or services.\u201d It\u2019s what distinguishes your products and services from your competitors, and is a noticeable logo or phrase that customers remember and associate with your business. For example: the golden arches of the giant McDonald\u2019s \u201cM.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can own a trademark versus having a registered trademark. If you own a trademark and start using it, there are limited rights that only apply to the physical, geographic area where you are using it.
