A Trademark distinguishes your goods or services from another same line business or your competitors and can take many forms; for example words, slogans, logos, shapes, colours and sounds. By trademark registration, you own legal right to use the Brand name or Logo and can put restriction on others from using the same.

Trademark is registered for specific goods or services within individual subjects, known as classes. This should not be descriptive and must not include common surnames, geographical names, registered company names or anything implying royal patronage.

It is possible for others to register identical or similar marks as long as it is in a different, unconnected class. There are total 45 classes to choose for Trademark as per your activities.
