Trademark registration is a legal process that involves registering a unique symbol, name, phrase, design, or logo representing a business or product.
A trademark registration provides legal protection to the owner of a symbol, word, phrase, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services in the marketplace.
Trademark registration protects the business's intellectual property by granting exclusive rights to use and market the trademark.
Trademark registration is vital for businesses to protect brand identity and reputation and prevent consumer confusion.
Trademark registration establishes legal ownership and prevents others from using similar marks for similar purposes.
Consequently, trademark registration allows for enforcing trademark rights in court and provides a legal basis for pursuing damages in case of infringement.
Copyright and trademark are two distinct forms of legal protection that enable creators and owners to safeguard their intellectual property.
A trademark is a symbol, word, phrase, or design that distinguishes the source of goods or services in the marketplace.
Trademarks are usually associated with branding, logos, and slogans and are used to establish recognition and reputation for a particular company or product.
A copyright is a legal protection that provides exclusive rights to the authors of original works of art, literature, music, and other forms of creative content.
Copyrights ensure that the owner has the legal right to prevent others from copying, distributing, or using their work without permission.
