What is a Trade Mark
Put simply, a trade mark is the sign used to distinguish goods and services from one enterprise to another.
The most obvious types of trade marks include business names, product names, brand names and graphic logos. However, trade marks can take many different forms and include words, slogans, designs, letters, numerals, the shape of goods, packaging, 3D images, moving images and even smells and sounds.
All companies have at least one trade mark by which your customers identify you and your products or services.
Your Trade Mark can be your Biggest Asset
Your trade mark has a value on your company's balance sheet and should be considered a commercially significant asset of your business. It is therefore vital that your trade marks are protected and safeguarded; protected against the misuse by others, protected against unauthorised use of your mark and protected against others using an identical or similar mark, which could dilute the distinctiveness and effectiveness of your brand.
