North Dakota Trademark/Service Mark Registration is the process of registering a trademark or service mark with the North Dakota Secretary of State. A trademark or service mark is a type of intellectual property that uniquely identifies the goods or services of one business from another. North Dakota offers two types of Trademark/Service Mark Registration: 1) State Trademark Registration, which provides protection in the state of North Dakota; and 2) Federal Trademark Registration, which provides protection throughout the United States. The process for registering a trademark or service mark includes filing an application with the North Dakota Secretary of State, submitting a specimen of the mark, and paying the associated fees. Upon successful registration, the trademark or service mark is officially registered and protected in North Dakota.
