What is Trademark Registration?
Definition and Importance
A trademark is a sign, symbol, word, or combination thereof that distinguishes your products or services from those of others. Trademark registration grants you the exclusive legal right to use that mark in connection with your goods or services, providing protection against unauthorized use by competitors.
Importance of Trademark Registration:
• Legal Protection: Secures your brand’s identity and prevents others from using similar or identical marks.
• Brand Recognition: Enhances consumer trust and recognition, ensuring that your brand stands out in the market.
• Intellectual Property Asset: Your trademark becomes an intangible asset that can be licensed, franchised, or even sold, adding significant value to your business.
• Competitive Edge: Establishes your brand’s market position and deters potential infringers from using similar marks.
