A trademark can be a word, phrase, symbol, or design that distinguishes the source of the goods or services. Also, as a trade dress, it can be the appearance of a product or its packaging, including size, shape, color, texture, graphics, and appearance (e.g., retail store or website). Core-Truth Ministries, Inc. trademarks and service marks ("Core-Truth trademarks") are valuable assets that Core-Truth Ministries, Inc. ("Core-Truth Ministries") needs to protect.

Such tag lines may appear in the same type as your product or service name within the text or body copy. On product, packaging, advertising, and other collateral where your product or service name is displayed apart from the body copy, ensure that the tagline appears in a significantly smaller type than your name.
