Trademark Basics Boot Camp, Module 1: Fundamentals

Are you a small business owner or entrepreneur interested in learning about trademarks and how to apply for a federal registration? If so, this event is a must-attend. In this first module of our eight-part virtual Trademark Basics Boot Camp, we’ll focus on trademark protection in the United States. The event is free, but space is limited, so register today.

This module will cover the following topics:

• What a trademark is and isn't
• Benefits of federal registration
• Selecting a trademark
• Filing and registration
• Finding help 

This module will be presented live via Webex from 2-3:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, October 6, 2026, and will conclude with a question-and-answer session. Please register by October 5.

Be sure to check out our other boot camp modules running consecutively every week for the eight-week duration. You can attend the whole series or just the specific modules that best meet your needs. Separate registration is required for each module. After each event, we'll email attendees links to a video recording of the module and a PDF of the presentation materials. You will only receive access to the recording if you attend that module.
