You almost never ?must? register a trademark. It is good business practice to protect yourself (from claims of infringement by others and infringement of your rights by others) by obtaining registration of your brand, and it helps to build value in your business. Often your trademark becomes your most valuable asset.

You may register logos with the Secretary of State in the state where your company is based. This protects your rights within that state, so the logo cannot be copied by brands in other states. The most expensive option is to file a trademark application with the USPTO.

A trademark application may be filed electronically with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) on its website. The application sets out, among other things, the applicant's name and address, the trademark, and the goods and services with which the mark will be used in Canada.

How To Copyright a Logo in 3 Steps: Use the © copyright symbol on your work. Ensure you can prove the date of creation. Register with a copyright witness service such as ProtectMyWork.com.

One of the best ways to protect your intellectual property is to register a trademark for your brand name, logo, designs, slogans, and any words associated with your brand. Obtaining a registered trademark for your brand's IP will allow you to use the registered trademark symbol "®" in conjunction with these assets.

The process of registering a logo trademark includes filing an application with the USPTO and the USPTO charges a filing fee for every new trademark application. The application fee is currently $250 per class of goods or services that you list in your application.
