Registering a Trademark puts the world on notice that you are using the mark, that it is your mark, and that no one else can use it. It also generates an indisputable record of your use, which is vital in defending your rights if another business were to come along at a later date and use the mark in violation of your rights. Trademarks should be registered by businesses that use the mark in interstate commerce, or plan on using the mark in interstate commerce.

Furthermore, registering a trademark will give your trade name and brand names more credibility with the public and with other business you deal with.
