How do I register a trademark name?

In order to register a trademark name in Arizona, you will need to file an application with the Arizona Secretary of State. The application is an extensive form that must include the trademark name, the legal name and address of the person or business registering the trademark, and a description of the services or goods the trademark will be used for. Once an application is filled out and submitted, the Arizona Secretary of State’s office will review it to ensure it meets all the requirements. If the application is approved, it will be published in the official Arizona trademark register and a Certificate of Registration will be sent with the official registration number. In addition, you should research if the name you wish to trademark is legal and has not already been registered by another business in Arizona. This can be done through the Secretary of State’s website. If the name is available, you can proceed with the application. Once a trademark is registered, it will be legally recognized in Arizona and can be used to prevent other businesses from using the same name. It is important to be aware that you must also file for federal trademark protection if you wish to protect your trademark nationwide. Federal trademark registration can be done through the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
