SEO Terms Make Terrible Trademarks! Here's What To Do Instead!

Because they're so descriptive, SEO terms make terrible trademarks -- Here's what you should do instead.

Take the part that you want -- Let's say it's "Dallas SEO" -- and add on your own unique brand. Be sure it's not a laudatory term like "best" or "super" -- you want a real brand name.

If you're name is Joe, for example, your brand could be "Rockin' Joe's Dallas SEO" and you could register that as a trademark, disclaiming the descriptive terms.

The reason why descriptive terms cannot serve as trademarks is because a trademark is a monopoly. So if we give Joe the monopoly on the words "DALLAS SEO" by granting him a trademark application, then it means that others can't fairly describe their Dallas SEO services.

When Joe filed his trademark application for ROCKIN' JOE'S DALLAS SEO, he'll be asked to disclaim his exlusive right to DALLAS SEO apart from his actual trademark. This means that others can use the words DALLAS SEO in their trademarks, but that they can't use the term ROCKIN' JOES DALLAS SEO as a trademark.
