DBA vs. Trademark – What’s the Difference?Many business owners confuse DBAs with Trademarks, but these two serve very different purposes in protecting and identifying your business.
DBA (Doing Business As):Allows a business to operate under a trade name different from its legal entity name. Provides recognition only at the local or state level; does not grant exclusive brand rights. Registered with the state or county where the business operates.
Trademark:Protects a brand name, logo, or slogan used to identify goods or services in commerce. Grants exclusive nationwide rights to use the mark for specified goods/services. Filed and approved through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or state trademark office.
