Tips to Avoid Bad Investment in Trademarking

• Brand names that are attractive are quite in
  demand. People often get attached to them even
  without considering how burdensome it can prove
  to be. Maximizing the value of your brand names
  is important for startup businesses. A startup
  business usually has lesser marks. This means
  that each of the marks is at the core of the
  identity of the company and thus, has a
  significant impact on the customer satisfaction.
  In fact, startups have a small budget and have
  great expectations from each of the trademark
  filing. This is the reason it is important to
  have a strategy for filing, maintenance, and also
  enforcement of the trademark is crucial for
  startups.
• Here are some common mistakes that you need to
  avoid to maximize the resource of your trademark.

Do Proper Research

• You should not head straight to website of the
  trademark office to file an application. This is
  the quickest way to become confused as you might
  receive a refusal for trying to get a
  registration for a mark which is pretty similar
  to someone elses. Similar mark can confuse the
  consumers regarding the product. You should do a
  considerable amount of research on your own or
  hire trademark services that will help you to
  uncover the common laws, business names, and
  state registrations.

Protect the Word Mark

• Protecting the word mark is a prudent
  decision. Founders generally want to get their
  logo registered first since they spend a lot of
  time, effort, and money on it. However, you might
  not realize that trademarking for a word or for
  that matter a sequence of words covers the usage
  of those words. This is irrespective of the
  color, font, configuration, and size of the
  words. However, if the brand name is the
  basically a description of your business, you
  might not benefit from the trademark of words. In
  such cases, it is better to trademark the logo
  rather than the word mark.

5
Select a Rational Mark

• When you enter the process of trademark
  registration, you need to think about your money
  and not simply your feelings. Though it might be
  important to choose a product which you like and
  the one that echoes with the product, you should
  always choose the mark rationally. Also, you
  should not get deeply attached to the mark before
  you get the trademark.

6
Protect the Trademark Overseas Sensibly

• If you are planning on expanding the business
  overseas then you will have to register the
  trademark in those countries as well. Otherwise,
  you might end up risking squatters, unscrupulous
  distributors, and infringers. In order to derive
  the maximum value out of the filing, you should
  register considering the treaties in between your
  target market and your home country. If you are
  confused as to which jurisdiction to file in then
  consider where you producers, partners,
  customers, potential infringers, and
  manufacturers are located.
• If you are unable to take care of all of these
  then you should consider hiring trademark
  services. They will put in the required effort to
  get your registration and protect it as well.
