And then there\u2019s the problem of getting your audience to actually remember it\u2026<\/p>\n<p>However, you may be able to get trademark protection for your title.<\/p>\n<h2>Trademark Protection for Your Title<\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office won\u2019t register the title to a single work, since one work is not a source identifier, but a series of works with a common thread in them could be registered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example,<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/J-D-Robb\/e\/B000APT7Y0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">J.D. Robb<\/a> has a long-running murder mystery series where almost every book is titled \u201c________ in Death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since she has a number of books with this format, she can register a trademark for \u201c_______ in Death\u201d with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Similarly, Suzanne Collins would not have been able to trademark<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B074CG9BBB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d<\/a> while it was the title of a single book, but adding \u201cThe Hunger Games Trilogy\u201d to the cover of the sequels (not to mention making a movie with the same title and selling related merchandise) allows her to register \u201cHunger Games\u201d as a trademark.<\/p>\n<h2>Trademark Protection<\/h2>\n<p>With trademark protection, you can prevent anyone else from selling a product with the same title as yours. You could also prevent someone from selling a product with a similar title \u2013 trademark infringement only requires that the two marks be similar enough to confuse or deceive buyers as to the source of the product.<\/p>\n<h2>Double-edged Sword<\/h2>\n<p>As with all things in the<b> intellectual property arena<\/b>, this protection is a double-edged sword.<\/p>\n<p>You can trademark your series against others, but someone with a similar trademark could also pursue you for infringing on their mark. It\u2019s always important to check and make sure your intended mark is not in use before putting it on the market. In the trademark world, the first person to use the mark almost always wins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like to learn more about trademarks<\/strong>, or need help making sure your mark isn\u2019t already in use, you are welcome to email me at <a href=\"mailto:kaway@kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kaway@kawaylaw.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/07\/what-do-i-need-to-know-about-the-california-consumer-privacy-act-ccpa-by-kelley-way\/kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"kawaylaw.com noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19891 tc-smart-load-skip tc-smart-loaded\" title=\"Kelley Way\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB.jpg 700w\" alt=\"Kelley Way\" width=\"150\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kelley Way was born and raised in Walnut Creek, California.
