What is a Trademark?

Wyoming's Bucking Horse and Rider (BH&R)

When an image or wording becomes identifiable as an indicator of a source of goods or services, and that source is distinguishable from those of others, that is a trademark. Trademark rights themselves are based on use. State trademarks are controlled under W.S. 40-1-101 through 116, and federal trademarks are controlled primarily under the Lanham Act. Trademarks are also protected under common law.


The BH&R is a Federally registered and State registered trademark of the State of Wyoming.
