A trademark protects words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods. Trademarks serve as the insignia of your product. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in commerce.
