A state registered trademark is a trademark that has been registered at the state level. A federally registered trademark has been registered with the federal government. To obtain a federal registration the applicant must use or intend to use the trademark in interstate commerce.

Common law trademarks, i.e., unregistered, exist in the area in which the mark is being used or is known. State registrations exist throughout the state. Federal registrations exist throughout the country. First in time is first in right. Thus, two or more users may all have the same rights in different locations if the first user did not promptly obtain a federal registration.
