A trademark is a type of intellectual property. It represents a recognisable sign, design or expression that distinguishes products and services from others.
How a trademark can protect your brand
Stop your brand from getting stolen
Without a trademark, competitors can use your brand for their own business. If they manage to register a trademark before you, you may be coerced to abandon your own brand and start afresh.
Prevent counterfeits
When you have a good brand, there will be others who will try to use your brand’s name or logo on their inferior goods. Having a registered trademark stops counterfeiters and punishes them for copying.
Safeguard your brand from future tussles
By registering for a trademark, you prevent others from registering identical trademarks. This will save you the trouble of having to deal with competitors trying to register your trademark in the future.
Adds value to your business
A registered trademark indicates you have full ownership of your brand. It shows potential investors that you are serious about your branding rights and have fully protected them.
