Trademarks and Service Marks |
|
A service mark is a word, phrase, logo, symbol, color, sound, or smell used by a business to identify a service and distinguish it from those of its competitors. If the business uses the name or logo to identify a product, such as a camera, it is called a trademark. In practice, the legal protections for trademarks and service marks are identical. |
