Protect your app assets with trademarks & copyrights.
Take advantage of an easy-to-use trademark protection solution designed specifically for app developers and game publishers. Don’t allow others to copycat your successful products and decrease your hard-earned stream of income. Help your team focus on launching new products while your digital assets are duly protected.
Unlike with other businesses, your apps and games are your main assets. You have no stores, no factories, no warehouses. Though this means fewer things to care about, you have no insurance to protect your assets against accidents. Yet, accidents happen: your app can be copied, someone can try to copyright-strike it, or submit a claim due to a similar app name. This all can happen, we know. And it’s extremely frustrating to deal with marketplace support, which is mostly AI, and you can’t even get to a real person who can read through your message and actually help you.
Law is something you can leverage in this situation. It can shortcut the communication, avoid pointless arguments and get you right to the part where your app is active and brings a consistent stream of revenue.
At Bonamark, we registered hundreds of applications, games, and software names, and we know how to deliver high-quality results quickly, consistently, and reliably.
Defend
- Trademarks: Defend the names of your apps to prevent others from deleting your app from the platforms.
- Copyright: To protect digital assets used in your game.
- Design patents: To protect your interfaces and how the elements are arranged.
- Patents: To protect innovative features in your app.
Attack
- Remove copycats across different platforms. Others may use your app name to appear in search results next to your app. If you don’t want this to happen, we can help prevent it.
- Copyright-strike imitators.
- Don’t allow others to mimic your design, functionality or innovations.
Think strategically and use a smart approach to protect your assets. A trademark is a valuable asset and boosts the price of your app. Not to mention that removing imitators will increase your income in the short term.

Trademarks for App Developers FAQ
Why register a trademark?
It can protect the name of your app or game and help in removing apps that use your name to appear in search results to get a free ride on your reputation.
Who should register a trademark?
Developers and publishers need to register trademarks to protect their brands once the apps become profitable.
What are the consequences of not registering brands?
Others can register them first and try removing you from the platforms. Also, there might be a collision with a prior brand you don’t know about, and registering a trademark decreases the risk of being sued.
When you don’t need a trademark?
When your brand is generic: Distance calculator, Shopping App, Smart Home, etc. Those brands can’t be registered, so you don’t have to bother registering them. This means, of course, that you won’t have any benefits of protected trademarks.
What is the right time to register?
When your app is profitable or if you invested a lot into making it. A trademark costs around 600$ for 10 years, which we think is a very reasonable price for the protection you get.
What is the price of an international trademark?
Trademarks are territorial and are active only in the country of registration. There are certain ways to get an international trademark covering multiple countries, but that’s where we’ll need more details to offer you the best strategy. Get in touch with us to learn more.
