Trademark Basics with USPTO, SBDC and SBA

The Midwest Regional Office of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Minnesota Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Minnesota District Office have come together to provide the opportunity to learn about trademark basics and how to connect with a no-cost consultant with the Small Business Development Center in your area to bring your ideas to reality. Join us for a discussion about what all inventors, entrepreneurs, and start-ups should know about trademarks. We’ll discuss what trademarks are, the benefits of federal trademark registration, and the basics of the registration process. We’ll also talk about why it’s so important for any new business to select a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable.
