Lesson 10: Assignments
Three assignments to help you
One. Take TESS for a test drive. Login to the federal trademark search database and perform some searches for names you’d like to use. Try a simple search and a Boolean search as they will generate different results. The returned results have a “Live” or “Dead” next to them, showing if they are active or potentially available.
Two. Learn the FAQs. The Secretary of State has an informative set of frequently asked questions to help familiarize yourself with trademark use and registration at the state level.
Three. Find an intellectual property attorney. Do a Google search to find an “intellectual property attorney” in your area. If you have a product or service you want to patent or a trademark to register, many will provide you with an initial consultation.
