registering a Trademark for your concept is a good idea. If
you use your writing as the basis for workshops and other
products, it’s in your best interests to protect your
concepts with a Trademark.

official web site www.uspto.gov, a Trademark is a symbol, a
word, a phrase, or a design, (or any combination), used to
identify and distinguish the unique source of goods. Note
that a Service Mark has the same definition as a Trademark,
except as related to services instead of products.
