Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services from those manufactured or sold by others and indicate the source of those goods.  Trademarks can be renewed for as long as they are being used in commerce. Since 1989, the Library of Science and Medicine (LSM) has been a depository library for United States patents and trademarks.
