The USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) has published our logo in the “Official Gazette Publication Confirmation”. In other words, effective March 6, 2012 another terrific Milestone (thanks to Facebook for the lexicon) has been set in FCAAC’s history; our logo is officially trademarked!
By definition, a trademark or service mark is “a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods or services of one party from those of others.” (ref. www.uspto.gov). We went through a meticulous and diligent legal process that started for us with the transitional ℠ service mark, and culminated this past month with the official federal registration for “medical services and physician services” (R) symbol.
