What Is A Trademark?

A trademark is a word, symbol, design, a combination of letters or numbers, or another device that identifies and distinguishes products and services in the marketplace. Once developed through advertising, marketing, trade shows, and other means, trademarks become one of your most valuable assets. Your customers identify your firm with your trademark.

What Kinds Of Trademarks Can Be Registered?

Anything that distinguishes the products and/or services of a company and is capable of graphic representation can be protected as a trademark. To cut a long story short, you can register much more as trademarks than you probably imagine. For example :
  • Word Mark
  • Figurative Mark (Logo)
  • Combined Word and Figurative Mark
  • Slogans
  • Colors
  • Abbreviations/Initials
  • Shapes
  • Sounds
For maximum protection, more than one trademark registration may be necessary (for instance for a word mark and a separate device mark). We shall be pleased to advise you about all options relevant to your company and its trademarks.

What Does A Trademark Do?

A trademark provides protection to the owner of the mark by ensuring the exclusive right to use it to identify goods or services or authorize another to use it in return for payment. The period of protection varies, but a trademark can be renewed indefinitely beyond the time limit on payment of additional fees. Trademark protection is enforced by the courts, which in most systems have the authority to block trademark infringement. In a larger sense, trademarks promote initiative and enterprise worldwide by rewarding the owner of trademarks with recognition and financial profit. Trademark protection also hinders the efforts of unfair competitors, such as counterfeiters, to use similar distinctive signs to market inferior or different products or services. Why Trademark Protection? Using a trademark does not provide you with trademark rights in all countries. Should somebody else register a similar trademark for similar products or services, you will have no right to object to this use under normal circumstances. To avoid such a situation, it is wise to register your trademark at the earliest possible stage, in the relevant countries. Only by registration of the trademark, you will acquire exclusive rights to a trademark. A registered trademark entitles you to act against infringements. On the basis of trademark rights, you can take action not only against identical and similar trademarks but also, on certain conditions, against trade names and domain names. Trademark registration offers wide protection.

What Are Classes?

When registering a trademark, you need to specify the products and services that will be associated with your trademark. The large majority of countries of the world have adopted the international classification of nice. This system groups all products and services into 45 classes – 34 for products, 11 for services – permitting you to specify precise and clear classes covering your trademark. the protection that is offered to a registered trademark covers only the classes specified at the time of registration, thereby allowing two identical trademarks to coexist in distinct classes. We provide a helpful class search tool, which allows you to easily determine the classes your products or services are related to; you can find the link to this application when ordering your service.
