Search for an Existing Trademark
As with patents, the USPTO recommends that business owners conduct a trademark search to ensure that no one else has already claimed rights for a particular mark before filing an application with the USPTO.

Access Online Forms
These forms, which can be downloaded from the USPTO Web site, are made available to help guide small businesses through the often-complicated world of intellectual property protection.
