Have You Registered Your Trademark…It has got Many Advantages

A Trademark generally refers to a “brand” or “logo”. Trademark registration can also be obtained for a business name, distinctive catch phrases, taglines or captions.

Properly used and promoted, a Trademark may become the most valuable asset of a business. Trademarks such as Coca Cola, HP, Canon, Nike and Adidas serve as an indication of origin of the goods as well as an indication of quality. It is also essential to obtain trademark registration for the business name/trade name under the TrademarksAct. Registration of a company or business name under the Companies Act does not in itself give protection against others who might commence using identical or similar marks.

Below are the major Advantages of Trademark registration:

In regards to the trademark symbols being used like “TM” (trademark), “SM” (service mark) or “®”, they have different uses. The “TM” and “SM” can be used to claim the ownership of a product or service even without registration with the USPTO. The registration symbol “®” can only be used after the trademark is registered successfully to the USPTO.

Besides, trademark owner also has some other important advantages. Most importantly, it will help the owner protect their mark from being used by competitors, even when that is a similar mark to the mark registered. The USPTO also states that if there is any party trying to use the trademark, the owner can take legal actions against that party in federal court and claim charges depending on the situation.

Once a company has the trademark ownership, it will have the exclusive right to use it nationwide and for all the products that are listed in the registration. In addition, the mark will be listed in the USPTO’s online databases and if there is any similar mark to the registered mark for related products, the new registration will be refused. Mark Trademan also said in the Trademark Information Network’s video podcast that trademark can last forever as long as it is being used, products are still being manufactured and sold on the market.
