Washington Trademark Reservation is a form of protection for trademarks in the state of Washington. It is a way to reserve a trademark for a period of six months before filing an application for registration. This offers businesses the opportunity to build their brand and ensure the exclusive use of the mark before they commit to registering it. There are two types of Washington Trademark Reservations: 1) Statewide Reservation and 2) County/City Reservation. The Statewide Reservation is available to any company or individual seeking to protect their mark. This type of reservation is valid for six months and may be renewed for an additional six months. The County/City Reservation is available only to those who reside or do business in the county or city that the mark is being reserved in. This type of reservation is valid for one year and may be renewed for an additional year.
