Cynthia, I registered my hallmark two years ago. The information
Laura gave is basically correct, and the most important aspect
is making sure that you do not infringe on someone else's mark.
I used to pass through the Washington, D.C. area frequently and
just went into the Trademark office and pulled the hallmark tray
for jewelry marks. I found that there was a hallmark being used
with the initials I use, but mine are in a monogram style which
was different enough to be accepted. The booklet you get from
the hallmark registration people spells out the necessary steps
quite well. The process from start to finish took 20 months and
you must submit information after eight years that the hallmark
is still in use to assure its continuance.
