In the State of California, can a minor enter a legally binding contract/agreement?

Can a minor in California apply & own a federal trademark, or must a parent or guardian be the applicant? At what age can a minor legally enter a contract? For example, a 13 year old can apply for an email by himself and a 16 year old can own a CA drivers license. Valid legal sources (i.e. US codes & sections) would be most appreciated. Thanks!
