Abstract

Use of symbols or signatures to identify the source of goods has been around since people first started trading and selling goods such as pottery, weapons, and clothing thousands of years ago. The purpose of these marks, to indicate the product’s source, has not changed to this day. What has changed, especially in the last one hundred years, is the protection afforded to trademarks. Currently, the United States protects trademarks under the Trademark or Lanham Act, state law, and common law.
