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
Trademarks Act. 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.
Use of TM, SM and ®
symbols
'TM' stands for
Trademark and 'SM' stands for Servicemark. The use of TM and SM symbols
notifies the public that the company is claiming exclusive ownership of the
trademark and can generally be used by one who has filed a trademark
application.
The ® symbol, can be
used only once the trademark is registered and the registration certificate is
issued. Also, you may use the registration symbol only in connection with the
goods and/or services in respect of which the trademark is registered.
