Registered trademarks should display the "R" mark in a circle.
Attorney John Berryhill did an excellent job representing Frank Schilling, with regards to the application for a trademark at the USPTO.
In early 2011, Frankie applied for a federal trademark for his company, Proforma Inc., which was granted in August 2011.
The mark in question is “Why build a brand when you can buy one?” that Frank Schilling is using on his web site, DomainNameSales.com – according to the application, the mark is for “Brokerage services in the field of internet domain names“.
There is a slight problem, however.
Since the mark is now registered with the USPTO, Frankie should not be using the “TM” reference next to the phrase, but the “®” symbol instead.
Otherwise, cool stuff Frank! 😀
