Service Mark Application

A Service Mark Application is a legal process used to protect and register the unique symbols, words, or logos that identify and distinguish a service provider’s offerings. For instance, if a company has a distinctive logo for its consulting services, filing a service mark application helps secure exclusive rights to use that mark in the market. This prevents others from using a similar mark in ways that could cause confusion, helping the business build brand recognition and reputation. The application is submitted to the appropriate government trademark office, and once approved, grants legal protection for the service mark.
