Trademarks typically protect specific words, phrases, logos, or symbols that distinctly identify a product or service and are used in commerce. Considering your sentence is a continuous phrase and apparently not being used to specifically identify a brand, it would not likely infringe on any existing trademarks. The combination of words in this manner is more generic, and common phrases usually don't qualify for trademark protection because they lack distinctiveness or originality.
However, individual words like "effort" ... Read More
