Many trademarked products you use every day are recognizable because of their unique designs and the logos they bear -- features that set them apart and may not be copied by other companies. If you have created a product and desire the same protection, you must register your trademark with the federal government. The process involves many steps, but the information below will lead you through it.
Great article, but I don't see which to use in the "Resources" to search, as mentioned in your article.
"You can also access more up-to-date records than what the USPTO offers with an online trademark-search service like the one in Resources.
