A large photo carousel takes up most of the top part of the page along with a description of the Trademarks Division and its mission.

The Trademark Division’s Mission is: “We provide a system of State trademark and service mark registration protection that is substantially consistent with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office’s (“USPTO”) federal system.”

“Registering trademarks offers legal and commercial benefits. We carefully assess and apply State and Federal laws to examine and register eligible marks.”
