The Issue: Trademarks and Artistic Expression As indicated by use of the word "trade," a trademark is concerned with matters of the marketplace. A trademark is essentially a government-authorized monopoly on the use of a word, name, phrase, symbol, device, or any combination thereof. It is given to an individual or company for the purposes of identifying themselves and distinguishing their products from those made or sold by someone else.
