How do I register my artwork as a trademark?

If you want to register your artwork as a trademark in the state of Oregon, you will need to go through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This federal agency is responsible for registering copyrights, trademarks, and patents. First, you will need to do a comprehensive search to make sure that your artwork does not conflict with any existing trademarks. This search should include both a design search and a word search to make sure your design is original. Second, you will need to file an application with the USPTO. This application will need to include information about the type of artwork and how it will be used. A description of the artwork should be included, as well as a few samples of the artwork. Third, you will also need to include the application fee with the application. This fee can range from $225 to $400, depending on the type of trademark you are applying for. Finally, you will need to wait for the USPTO to approve your application. This process can take between 8 and 10 months. Once your application is approved, you will receive a Certificate of Registration which signifies that you have successfully registered your artwork as a trademark in Oregon.
