trademarking a makers mark
Hi, my name is Amanda Lee, and I just graduated with my BFA in Metals and
Jewelry in December. I have spent the month of January making some jewelry, and I would like to try to sell it. But before I do, I need some advice about makers marks. I have been working in sterling silver and have stamped my work .925 to indicate the content and also have stamped it with my makers mark (logo). All of the designs are mine, and I did all my own work. I am currently visiting a friend who has a contact in a very upscale jewelry boutique. The owner of the boutique sells a lot of handmade jewelry from artisans around the country. He told me that he liked my work ("it's unique"!!!), but if I want to sell to him, then I must obtain a trademark for my makers mark. He said this is because I live in a different state from where his boutique is located. Is what the owner said correct? Do I have to trademark my makers mark before I can sell my jewelry outside of my own state? And if so, can you tell me how to trademark my makers mark? I don't know the first thing about how or where to apply for a trademark. Thank You. |
