What is a Trademark?
A trademark is a distinctive sign, logo, word, phrase, or combination thereof that acts as a unique identification for a certain business's or individual's products or services. It offers legal protection by allowing the trademark owner exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with their products or services, barring others from using a similar mark in a way that may create consumer confusion. In the corporate sector, trademarks play an important role in creating brand identification, gaining customer trust, and safeguarding intellectual property.
