Trademark examiner

A trademark examiner is like a teacher who checks to make sure that nobody else has already used the same name or symbol that you want to use. When you get a trademark for your name or symbol, it means that you have the exclusive right to use it for your business or product. The trademark examiner looks at your application and makes sure everything is okay. If everything looks good, they will grant you the trademark, just like a teacher gives you a gold star for a good job!
