How To Trademark a Cosmetics Company

Here at Total Trademarks in New York City we’ve worked with many cosmetics companies to trademark their company name, logo, and slogans. Whether you’re a boutique label or a major New York brand, trademarking can help establish and protect your company name, product names, logos and other aspects of your branding.

HOW CAN A TRADEMARK PROTECT COSMETIC PRODUCTS?

Trademarking gives you the exclusive rights to use your trademark in the U.S. in relation to your goods. If a trademark registration is secured, the USPTO will refuse subsequent applications for similar or identical trademarks if it relates to similar products. Trademarking also creates a public listing of your trademark in the USPTO’s online TESS database. A trademark search will show that you own the trademark, which deters many competitors from attempting to register or use your trademark. The value of this benefit alone makes the filing fees worth it in our opinion.
