Understanding Trademarks in Texas

Key considerations for protecting your brand

A trademark provides exclusive rights to use your brand name, logo, or slogan in connection with your goods or services. In Texas, state registration offers protection within the state, while federal registration provides broader coverage. Conducting a thorough search before filing helps avoid conflicts and costly disputes down the road.



Houston’s competitive business landscape makes trademark protection especially important for distinguishing your brand. At Lindholm Law, we provide clear, actionable strategies for registering and enforcing trademarks to secure your business’s reputation and market position.

Common Questions About Trademark Protection

Thorough answers for Houston entrepreneurs and companies

  • Why should I register a trademark for my business?

    Registering a trademark gives you exclusive rights to use your brand and prevents others from profiting off your identity. It protects your reputation and adds value to your business. We guide you through the process to ensure your brand is fully secured.

  • What’s the difference between a state and federal trademark?

    A state trademark protects your brand within Texas, while a federal trademark offers nationwide protection. The right option depends on your business’s reach and growth plans. We help you determine the best strategy for your brand’s needs.

  • How long does it take to register a trademark?

    The timeline varies, but federal registration typically takes six to twelve months. State registration can be faster, depending on processing times. We handle the process from start to finish to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

  • Can I trademark a logo and a name together?

    Yes, you can register both individually or as a combined mark. Registering them separately provides broader protection. We help you evaluate the best approach for safeguarding your brand elements.

  • What happens if someone infringes on my trademark?

    Taking swift action is critical to maintaining your rights. We assist with enforcing your trademark through cease-and-desist letters, negotiations, and litigation if necessary. Our goal is to protect your brand and preserve its value for the long term.
