A trademark is a unique symbol, word, design, or expression that distinguishes a company’s goods or services from competitors. It plays a crucial role in brand identity and helps customers recognize and trust a product or service.

 

Trademarks are classified as intellectual property and are legally protected under the Trademark Act, 1999, preventing unauthorized use or infringement.

Why Register a Trademark?

 

  • Legal Protection – Prevents others from copying or misusing your mark.
  • Brand Recognition – Helps consumers associate the mark with the brand’s reputation.
  • Exclusive Rights – Grants the owner sole authority to use, license, or sell the trademark.
  • Business Credibility – Enhances the brand’s market value and competitive edge.

 

Registering a trademark safeguards the brand’s identity, ensuring long-term protection and recognition—just like the famous tick logo that instantly identifies a brand.
