The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) grants trademarks for names, designs, or logos. Musicians can protect band names and logos by applying through the PTO, which requires a drawing, examples of use, a completed form, and a $375 fee. For Texas trademarks, the fee is $50, and you must have used the mark in business. Trademark availability can be checked via TESS, ensuring that musicians can secure exclusive rights to their brand.
