What is a trademark?
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.A trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements.[3] There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories, such as those based on color, smell, or sound.
Benefits of trade mark registration
The owner of a trademark may initiate legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark. Most countries require formal registration of a trademark as a precondition for pursuing this type of action. A few countries, including the United States and Canada, also recognize common law trademark rights, which means action can be taken to protect a trademark that is in use but not registered. Generally, common law trademarks do not offer the holder as much legal protection as registered trademarks.
- Trademarks (or service marks) allow people to identify the source of goods or services, not the products or services themselves. When people see your trademark, they will know where the product came from or who is providing the service. Trademarks can be names, symbols, packaging, the shape of a product, the colors of a product, the sounds, or scents associated with the product, or any combination of these. To promote, protect, and keep your business from being confused with another, you should consider establishing a trademark for your business. Once you obtain a trademark, you should vigorously defend it. Then, no one in your line of business can use your trademark.
- Serves as constructive notice to the public of the registrant's ownership of the trademark.
- Establishes a legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and your exclusive right to use the trademark nationwide on or in connection with the goods and/or services listed in the registration.
- Federal registration also allows you to use the ® (the "Circle-R") symbol.
