Will the trademark protect my business name from being used throughout the United States?

00:11
Yes, yeah. So trademarks are not and same thing with patents. These are federal. So when you file for a trademark, you get protection throughout the entire United States. There is no Florida Trademark Office that, you know, you can file state trademarks. But typically, federal trademarks is what I recommend you get nationwide protection. And the same thing with patents. There's no Florida Patent Office or New York Patent Office. There's the United States Patent Office. So you file and your protection is nationwide, which is one of the reasons why I'm licensed in all 50 states in practicing before the patent office, because the patent office is not state based. It's federal. There's a US patent so so we have inventors, from all over the country that we assist.

Wow. So you can do a pen from Alaska.

01:00
Yeah, we can do one from Alaska. I I mentioned the country but I should have said worldwide, because anybody. We have clients that hire us now, especially this pandemic has made it more clear than ever is that with Zoom and, and video content, other services that offer video conference calls, there's literally nothing that we can accomplish in person that can't be done through a video conference. So yeah, worldwide, not just Alaska, I guess, in veteran Timbuktu could hire us and you could file your patent in the United States.
