Question: What is the difference between a trademark and trade name?

Answer:
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device, or combination of any of the same, used to identify goods made or sold by a certain person or entity. A trade name is a word, name, symbol or device, or combination of any of the same, used to identify a person’s business or occupation.
