There are common law rights
Federal registration is not required to establish rights in a trademark. Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark. Generally, the first to either use a mark in commerce or file an intent to use application with the Patent and Trademark Office has the ultimate right to use and registration. However, there are many benefits of federal trademark registration.
Just like any other product of value, intellectual property is desired and sought by others. In Missouri intellectual property theft has grown drastically over the last decade and is responsible for massive economic losses of many citizens, while Missouri intellectual property lawyers are fighting to protect your copyrights.
Copyright infringement happens on a day-to-day basis, especially since the evolution of the Internet, which is governed by the same intellectual property laws as any other media. While people don't make the connection to ordinary theft, many are surprised by the strict penalties that await those that violate intellectual property laws.
