Recognizing that smaller companies have unique needs when it comes to registering a trademark, Canada-based Trademark Depot has introduced several new packages that also cater to different budgets. Coinciding with the update, the agency has also published a new guide, highlighting how trademarks remain an important tool for all types of businesses, including startups and small businesses.

While copyrighting and trademarking are both designed to protect intellectual property, they apply to different asset types. Copyright is most commonly used to protect artistic works, such as fiction novels, musical lyrics, music compositions, illustrations, or motion pictures. Conversely, trademarking usually covers branding devices, such as logos, words, names, and symbols.
As part of the new guide, Trademark Depot explains why registering a trademark can be of benefit to small businesses and startups. In addition to the trust that a trademarked brand name can create, the agency points out that intellectual property theft has become an increasingly common occurrence, and having a registered name or logo helps businesses protect themselves if this occurs.
“Registered trademarks for startups and small businesses can help to protect their brand by preventing competitors from copying and stealing their products/services,” a company representative explained. “Furthermore, a registered trademark has always been a hallmark of credibility, so it can help to differentiate businesses in a highly competitive marketplace.”
Trademark Depot also highlights some of the complexities of the trademark registration process, including conducting research to ensure that a brand name or logo does not belong to another company. The firm states that rejected applications can become an expensive and time-consuming factor for small business owners who are unfamiliar with the requirements.
Catering to a variety of possible risks, Trademark Depot has now created three separate trademark registration packages, with all services covering direct hit trademark searches in the relevant jurisdiction. The mid- and top-tier services also allow for potential complications, such as requests for minor or major alterations before registration will be granted.
“Our trademarking packages are designed to fit a variety of budgets, offering the things that businesses have told us they really need, while not sacrificing on quality,” the company continued. “For the more comprehensive services, we also offer 3-month payment plans, because our goal is to make trademarking as accessible as possible.”
