Trademarks are an integral part of an LLC's identity. A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of a company's products or services from those of its competitors. Without a trademark, an LLC risks being confused with other businesses, losing customers, and losing the value of its brand. An LLC must register its trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to protect it from infringement by other businesses. A trademark is essential for an LLC to protect its brand and identity, and to ensure its success.

Does an LLC need a trademark?

Is 'trademark' the same as a 'trade name'?
Trademark and trade name are often confused as synonymous with each other, but they are two distinctly different things. A trademark is a symbol, design, or slogan used to identify and distinguish goods of one party from those of another. A trade name, on the other hand, is the name of a business, product, or service. A trade name can also be a trademark if it is used to identify the goods or services of one party. Therefore, while they are related, they are not the same.
