TRADEMARK

A trademark is any sign which can distinguish the goods and services of one trader from those of another. A sign includes for example, words, logos, pictures or a combination of these. A trademark is a badge of origin, used so that customers can recognize the product of a particular trader.

To register your trademark your trademark must be:

1. Distinctive for the goods or services which you are applying to register it for, and
2. Not deceptive, or contrary to law or morality, and
3. Not similar or identical to any earlier marks for the same or similar goods or services.

The Patent Office will object to words, logos, pictures or other signs which are unlikely to be seen as a trade mark by the public. To make sure you can file your trademark it is important that you use a made up word, logo, picture or other sign with more common names or words.

DOES THE TRADEMARK PROTECT ME THROUGHOUT THE WORLD?

No. Trademarks are filed on a country by country basis.

BENEFITS:

2. It distinguishes your services or products to the consumer.
3. It associates your services or product with a particular type of quality to the consumer.
4. It allows you to obtain certain types of additional legal remedies if someone should infringe on your mark under the trademark law.
5. It allows others to be on notice of your usage if they conduct a trademark search.
6. A trademark search gives you a better gauge on whether the name or logo you are utilizing has actually been used or registered.
