Overview of Trademark
A trademark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others. It acts as a visual symbol used by a business to distinguish its goods or services.
Governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999, registration is essential to protect your company's identity, prevent unauthorized use, and build a unique asset that increases in value over time.
Legal Rights
