Trade Mark
What is Trade Mark ?
A Trade Mark popularly known as brand name, is a visual symbol in the form of a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements applied to the commercial goods or service to enable the consumer public to identify one trader's goods from similar goods of other traders.
A Trade Mark must be capable of graphical representation and must be applied to goods or services for which it is registered.
In India, The Trade Marks Act, 1999 governs this and the law encourages registration of Trade Marks, as registration confers on the owner an exclusive right to use the mark.
Why Trade Mark ?
- To protect against the unauthorized use or misuse of a Brand name or Label or Logo of the company by others.
- The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings against any company / Individual for trademark infringement.
- A company can highlight the trademark as an asset and place emphasis on IP rights to its business and its investors. A trademark is a sign of success! Announce its status with � & ®.
Service Mark
A trademark used to identify a service rather than a product is called a service mark. When a service mark is registered, the standard registration symbol ® can be used.
In India, Under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, registration of 'service mark' can be done. Such 'service mark' can be used as a trade mark but applied to services rather than goods.
