Speaker Q&A
Question
But for a songwriter words in certain order are protectable, correct? so why for a product words in certain order can not be protected as a part of a logo?
- AdrianaC
Answer
Trademarks can include a series of words or phrases, including words that might be used in a song; such words/phrases just have to be used in connection with goods or services (e.g. merchandise, or entertainment services), and the words being trademarked have to be distinctive (meaning they don't describe the product/services they are being used with. A "product word" may not be protectable (i.e. registered as a trademark) if it merely describes a function, feature, or characteristic of the goods/services it is attached to because the product words might not be distinctive (i.e. indicating the source of the product/service as opposed to just describing the product/services itself).
