"We are pleased with the successful application for federal registration of our company trademark," stated Christopher J. Cali, Esq. BHG Corporate Counsel.  "The application process is complex and requires extensive documentation including proof that our brand is recognized within the industry we serve.  This registration is a welcome affirmation of the efforts we have made over the last ten years to create brand awareness and earn a strong reputation as a provider of financing services to healthcare professionals around the country.  It took two years to earn our federal trademark registration, but BHG can now rest assured that our good name and excellent reputation are protected."

Federal trademark registration is not a freebie to just anyone desiring to put the coveted capital 'R' in a circle after the name of their company or product.  It is a legal process that can takes years and requires the trademark meet stringent criteria.  Once the trademark is federally registered, it is protected from infringement, which, in turn, protects the company's reputation.  For a company like BHG, which has worked diligently to build a strong reputation, federal trademark registration is a valuable company asset.

Robert Castro, President and Co-owner of Bankers Healthcare Group, Inc. remarked, "As we look to the future growth of our company, we are confident that we will continue to successfully communicate the value of our financial services and further solidify our brand.  BHG will continue to be a brand worthy of recognition."
