Names, logos, and other unique corporate identifying marks are the true calling cards of any business, and the third edition of Trademark: Legal Care for Your Business & Product Name, by attorneys Kate McGrath and Stephen Elias, explains in an easy-to-understand fashion how to choose these vital assets properly and then protect them diligently. Revised to reflect changes that have come about because of the advent of cyberspace, it offers clear instructions on initial selections, searches to ensure availability, state and federal registration procedures, correct use, and adjudication of any disputes that result.

 Good Introduction for the Non-Professional November 9, 2005

This book is an excellent introduction to the concepts of trademarks. It's in its seventh edition, so it's been around long enough to get errors worked out and up to date enough to reflect the latest legal changes.
This book is a good introduction to trademark law. It seems to fit into two categories. If you're working for a big company (or a company that wants to grow big) use this for its information value and then go get professional trademark help from a specialist attorney.
If you're a little company like me, this is probably all that you need. For a dozen years I've owned the domain name [...]. I got a nasty letter from the attorney for Doubleday Book Clubs saying that I was infringing on their domain name of [...] and that they wanted me to stop. I wrote back to them and said that I wasn't infringing because I didn't run a book club, my pages didn't look at all like theirs, etc. I never heard from them again.
Mr. Elias, if you happen to read this, in your next edition, I'd like to see you expand Chapter 2 on domain names. They haven't replaced trademarks, but are becomming more and more important.
Step by step trademark application February 10, 2008

I needed a book that not only explained trademarks, the different types and rules and regulations, but also up-to-date step-by-step instructions on how to apply for one. This book was perfect - even has current screenshots from the US gov trademark website. I read the book in 2 evenings, followed the instructions, and currently have a pending trademark. Saved me over a thousand bucks in legal fees if I had a lawyer do it - and it's so simple, if you just have a little knowledge which this book provides. Well worth the very minor cost. Highly recommended.
Very useful background information for laymen December 25, 2003

This is a great resource for marketing professionals, entrepreneurs, and non-trademark attorneys to understand the basics of trademark law. However, this book is no substitute for professional legal advice from an experienced trademark attorney when it comes to protection a property that is becoming scarce and more valuable as business migrates into the online world.
Good reference book for the rest of us. January 11, 2007

Nolo Press once again did not disappoint me. I was looking for basic information about the Trademark process and they provided a description in "plain-English" that walked me through the process, defined terms, even offered some advice on how to handle disputes.
Good reference for us non-lawyers!
