A Trademark generally refers to a “brand” or “logo”.
Trademark registration can also be obtained for a business name, distinctive catch phrases, taglines or captions.
Properly used and promoted, a Trademark may become the most valuable asset of a business. Trademarks such as Coca Cola, HP, Canon, Nike and Adidas serve as an indication of origin of the goods as well as an indication of quality.
It is also essential to obtain trademark registration for the business name/trade name under the Trademarks Act. Registration of a company or business name under the Companies Act does not in itself give protection against others who might commence using identical or similar marks.
A logo is a sign, which can distinguish your services and goods from those of other traders and gives you an exclusive right to use it. Your logo registration will prevent third parties from using, without consent, similar logo for similar goods and services as those protected by registering your logo in India. Logos play an important role in marketing and brand recognition. You can use your logo as a marketing toll so that clients can recognize your services or products.
