Contrary to popular myth, a registered trade name is not a registered trademark. This is often an area of confusion among entrepreneurs. Registration of a trade name with the Secretary of State does not mean that the trade name is not infringing on another trademark. A trademark clearance search should be conducted to ensure that a trade name is not infringing the rights of others. 2, record 1, English, - registered%20trade%20name
