WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?

A trademark is typically a word, phrase, name, symbol, logo, image to distinguish a company's products and services from others. It is used as a marketing tool for creating Brand value of a company's products or services in market. A ‘Mark` may consist of any word or invented word, letter, number, signature, label, name written in a particular style, brand, heading, shapes, or any combination thereof or a combination of colours.

If trademark is to be registered a mark should be unique, distinct and capable of distinguishing goods or services from others.

It should not be misleading. It should not be identical to an already registered trademark of

another person.
