How do you trademark a word that you made up?

Creating a unique word and then trademarking it is a straightforward process. First, you must confirm that the word is not already in use and that it is not a protected term. Next, you must make sure that the word is used in a way that is consistent with the purpose of a trademark. After that, you will need to register the word with the relevant government agency. Once the trademark is approved, you will have exclusive rights to use the word in connection with the products or services in your industry. Finally, you must continually monitor the word and take appropriate action if someone else tries to use it. With the right steps, you can trademark a word that you created, giving your business or product a unique and protected identity.
