That is why I studied Jay-Z's process on trademarking his stage name. Even though he began using his name officially in 1996, he filed for four different classes of trademark in the year 2000 with the help and expertise of a highly skilled lawyer.  After five years of consecutive use from the date of federal registration, a trademark may be declared incontestable. An incontestable mark is immune from challenge except if it has become the generic term for the goods or abandoned for nonuse, or if the registration was acquired under fraudulent conditions. The benefit of declaring your trademark incontestable is that it will save you a lot of money, time and stress in lawsuits. It will make it easier, faster and cheaper to prevent someone else from using your name. Then after 10 years from the date of federal registration, you'll have to file and renew your trademark. You will need to do this every ten years.
