With its latest updates, the agency extends its expertise in brand identification to businesses, sole traders, and entrepreneurs across multiple sectors. TMD is offering new clients a complimentary consultation to discuss their goals and explore how the team can help them overcome the challenges of protecting business-critical names, imagery, logos, and symbols.

TMD guides clients through the trademark registration process and ensures that products and services are protected in all relevant jurisdictions across North America and Canada. The agency’s experienced agents help startup owners protect their brand identities by establishing and safeguarding exclusive rights to defined design assets.

TMD highlights how important trademarking is for startups and small businesses. A spokesperson says, “If you are selling goods/services into the U.S., Canada, China, India, the U.K. or any other jurisdiction, then it is essential that you protect your trademark in that jurisdiction. You do not want to enter any marketplace without protection. Selling goods/services without having a valid trademark registration is like driving a car without insurance.”

The registration process begins with a comprehensive trademark search within a client’s chosen jurisdiction to ensure the trademark rights are not already held by another business or individual. The team advises on which type of trademark classification is most suitable for a particular business: for example, registration applications can be submitted for coined terms, arbitrary, suggestive, descriptive, and generic trademarks.

“Before you file your trademark protection, you must understand the various types and the protection they offer because if your symbol, word, logo, or phrase is too generic, it may not qualify for legal protection,” TMD explains.

Clients are given a choice of packages – the entry-level ‘BASIC’ option includes a trademark search, a 30-minute consultation with a TMD agent, drafting of the statement of goods and services, the preparation and filing of the trademark application, docketing and status review reports, and a buyer’s remorse guarantee.

The STANDARD package provides all of the above with additional time extension requests and the preparation and filing of responses to non-substantial office actions. Clients can also opt for the ADVANCED package which includes a ‘registration or bust’ guarantee alongside other VIP services such as the review and analysis of a statement of opposition and initiation of cancellation proceedings.
