Trademark Modernization Act

The Trademark Modernization Act, enacted in 2020, updates United States trademark laws to streamline and strengthen the process of protecting brand names and logos. It introduces faster procedures for removing invalid or fraudulent trademarks, enhances measures against cybersquatting and counterfeit goods, and improves how brands can respond to infringement. The law also simplifies the process for trademark owners to modernize and maintain their marks, ensuring the system adapts to technological changes, especially online. Overall, it makes trademark enforcement more efficient and effective, helping companies better safeguard their intellectual property rights in a digital economy.
