Why Trademark Registration?
A business, big or small, always has its identity and is liable to protect it. Be it a logo, name, term, symbol, device, or any combination thereof, the brand sets that as their recognition is referred to as their trademark. It safeguards the particular, one-of-a-kind name, logo, and symbols associated with your products or company brand. Trademark protection may be extended to corporate names, symbols, logos, sounds, and even colours distinctive to a single brand.
The trademarks Registry was founded in India in 1940, and it now controls the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the rules promulgated under it. It functions as an information centre as well as a facilitator in the country’s brand themes, acting as a bulletproof for your brand.
Trademark registration is a legal process established by the Trade Marks Act of 1999. You may protect your brand or logo by registering a trademark, also known as logo registration/brand registration, which prevents others from using it.
If a corporation or individual wants to protect their logo against third-party misuse, they must go through the trademark registration procedure in India. In the event of trademark infringement, trademark registration provides the legal right to initiate legal action against the third party. Trademark registration also grants the owner the exclusive right to use the mark in connection with its products or services.
Protection & Trust Of The Brand
A trademark registration establishes ownership of a brand, name, or logo. It safeguards your brand against unlawful third-party use. The registered trademark establishes that the product/brand is entirely yours, and you have the exclusive right to use, sell, and change the brand or items in any way you see fit. The established brands are identified by their trademarks, which maximize confidence and goodwill among customers in the market. It aids in the retention of existing customers as well as the attraction of new clients or consumers.
Convenient communication mark
A Trademark is a powerful and simple communication tool. They speak for themselves. A registered trademark clearly shows which brand your goods belong to. For example, if you see a silver-colored half-bitten apple on any gadget, whether it’s a laptop or a phone, you know it’s an Apple product. Customers can easily locate a product with a registered trademark. As it is a powerful instrument with a distinct identity, registered trademarks are easily traceable, and buyers can quickly find your goods serving as a great communication tool.
Brand recognition
This assures that the goods and services are of the same, consistent quality and origin. Customers associate the quality of the goods and services with the brand name, and this image is generated in the market regarding the quality of a certain brand, which aids in recruiting new customers. Trademark registration helps your brand to maintain its goodwill.
Offers complete ownership rights
The registered proprietor of a trademark has sole ownership of the brand and has the authority to prohibit the illegal use of the Trademark. It gives the unlawful use of the Registered Trademark the legal right to sue. In the business world, there are so many competitors and so many products, having the right to what is yours, can make it easy to initiate any legal action against any misuse.
Over time, the value of a trademark might increase. The greater your company’s reputation, the more valuable your brand will be. Registering a trademark will add value outside the scope of your primary company. Trademarks can pave the door for industry development, such as from personal care to apparel or eyewear. If you want it, your trademark might lead to the purchase of your company by a larger entity.
