A trademark is a form of legal protection that gives a company exclusive rights to use its brand name, logo, or slogan. Registering a trademark helps prevent others from using similar identifiers, safeguarding your brand's identity and reputation.
A trademark may be removed if it conflicts with a previously registered trademark or if it remains unused beyond the allowed grace period.
Any individual or legal entity capable of entering into a contract can apply for a trademark. In some countries, non-residents must appoint a local attorney to act on their behalf during the application process.
Once registered, the trademark owner gains exclusive legal rights to use the trademark. This protection prevents others from using similar or identical marks, helping to maintain the integrity of the brand.
Yes, a business can register its name or logo as a trademark if it’s used to distinguish its products or services from competitors in the market.
