The growth of 'branding' is huge. This growth, however, has led to a number of companies using some very similar names. This can be a huge cause of concern for companies who have had their brand name trademarked. Trademark registration is a brand's identity. If someone is using the same name, it can cause confusion for your consumers. These are the reasons why you should register your trademarks<\/a>. If your brand name is not trademarked, you are not doing your job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trademark protects a business or brand and distinguishes it from others. It also gives the right to the mark and allows the holder to file a lawsuit against infringers. It is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of other companies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization<\/a>, or any legal entity. These can be located on the package, voucher, labels, and products, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trademark is segregated into 45 different classes as per the NICE classification for a trademark, also known as the International Certification of Goods and Services out of which 1-34 are for goods and products and 35-45 are for services.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A trademark offers legal protection for a word, symbol, phrase, logo, design, or combination of those that represent a source of goods or services. Types of trademarks for products include five main categories: generic mark, descriptive mark, suggestive mark, fanciful, and arbitrary mark.<\/p>\n
