Trade Mark Registration

Trademark registration is the process of legally protecting a brand name, logo, symbol, or a combination thereof, that distinguishes the goods or services of one party from those of others. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to use the mark in relation to the specified goods or services, preventing others from using confusingly similar marks.
