How To Trademark - Do it yourself Trademark Registration: Protect the name of your business, product or slogan

After researching thousands of names for attorneys over the last 15 years, the staff at Creative Trademark Services pulls back the curtain from the trademark industry and tells you all the secrets "they" don't want you to know!

While using an attorney is always the best way to protect yourself, many can't afford that luxury and arming yourself with knowledge is the best way to make an educated decision on where to spend whatever budget you do have. The dirty little secret of the industry is that once you understand how trademarks really work, you can protect yourself very inexpensively and even for FREE! For example: did you know that even if you don't have the money to protect your name via registration with the US Patent &Trademark Office, your rights to the name are still recognized just by using it?

In business, your name is one of your most valuable assets, but until now, confusing & expensive to protect. Finally there is a do-it-yourself, simple 3 step system that teaches you everything you need to know, so you can save money not one time, but EVERY TIME you want to protect the name of a Business, Product, or Slogan.

You can use this course to do everything from some basic due diligence, filing registration forms, reading search reports from a research company, all the way to DOING EVERYTHING YOURSELF.

In this book we teach you the industry standard 3-step system for protecting your name. It's the exact same process that an attorney uses to protect you.

1. Research The name
2. Decide if you can use the name
3. Register the name
