What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a unique symbol, logo, word, phrase, or combination that represents your business and distinguishes it from others. It provides legal protection to your brand and establishes exclusive ownership of the mark.


Why is Trademark Registration Important?

  1. Brand Protection: Prevents unauthorized use of your brand name or logo by others.
  2. Legal Ownership: Confers exclusive rights to the registered owner to use the trademark.
  3. Business Credibility: Enhances the trust and recognition of your brand.
  4. Asset Creation: A registered trademark is an intangible asset that can be sold, licensed, or franchised.
  5. Global Reach: Provides a foundation for international trademark registration.
