What is Trademark?
A trademark is something that helps people identify your products or services. It can be a name, a phrase, a logo, a design, or a combination of these. It makes your brand unique and helps customers remember you.
There are two types of trademarks: one for products (called a trademark) and one for services (called a service mark).
Here’s what a trademark does:
– It shows where your products or services come from.
– It gives your brand legal protection.
– It helps protect against counterfeit products and scams.
What is Trademark Registration?
In India, the Trademark Act states that registering your trademark gives you ownership rights. This means you legally own the trademark and can prevent others from using it without your permission. This protection against unauthorized use is known as trademark infringement.
Why TM Registration is important for your brand?
Having a registered trademark for your business is very important. Here’s why:
1. It proves you own your product, name, or logo.
2. Customers can easily find your product if it’s trademarked.
3. Trademarks help you communicate clearly.
4. Once you register a trademark, it can last forever, but you need to renew it every 10 years.
