Welcome to Louisiana Trademark.com

	Did You Know?
	This is the discription of a trade name. A trade name is any name used in the course of business that does not include the full legal name of all the owners of the business.

Sellers of goods throughout the ages have put their names on things they produced. Some producers devised symbols or pictures to identify and distinguish their products. Before the 20th century, trademarks were usually symbols or pictures rather than words. Under the common law in each state, a seller who uses any symbol as a trademark acquires the legal right to prevent other sellers from using a similar mark. Many sellers federally register their trademarks for extra protection.
