- Forever Socks
The joke about things being analogous to socks is that “you change them every day.” Brand names should not be seen that way at all, of course.

- Getting the Name You Want: Dealing with Trademark Obstacles
The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently reported the active trademark registrations for fiscal year 2010: a record-breaking 1,614,121. This is for the US alone.

- The Corporate Name: What Goes Into It and Why Is It So Important?

- Throwing The Market A Curve
Some of the brand name development efforts that happen at Lexicon® Branding remain in the shadows. It may be a name for a select segment of software engineers. Or a major brand’s soft drink that gets test marketed in Topeka, Kansas, and never gets any closer to a rollout.
