EVERY multi-state and international business and corporation has a trademark! Actually, they have many trademarks. Wal-Mart has over 2,000 trademarks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Yes, you read that right Wal-Mart has over 2,000 registered trademarks.
Wal-Mart started as a “mom & pop” style local store and with only one trademark. Sam Walton kept his vision and continued to expand and grow the business, not only for himself but his descendants.
If you ever find yourself wondering if a trademark is truly worth it, ask yourself:
Would I care if someone else started using the name of my business to sell the exact same goods/services?
Would I care if someone stopped me from using the name of my business o sell my goods/services?
If you answered “yes” to either of these questions—then you need a trademark. A trademark is the ONLY way to protect your brand in these situations.
