Do I Need to File Multiple Trademark Applications for Different Versions of My Logo?

Question: Do you need to file multiple trademark applications for different versions of your logo?

Answer:  Typically, you do not need to file trademark applications for various different versions of your logo.  In most cases a single filing on the version of your logo used in the masthead of your website or the packaging of your products is sufficient.  That said, if budget allows, a trademark attorney can evaluate whether or not additional filings could be helpful to round out protection of your brand.
