Trademark Registration

Are you also looking to open a company with a product? If yes, for this you will have to get your product and brand trademarked.

Before getting a trademark registration, you should know what a trademark is because very few people know about it. A Trademark is a symbol designed to protect a company’s product, which is registered by that company. Trademark is used so that we can know who has created the product of which company.

Each company has its own brand and logo. Trademark is a symbol that is printed on the product so that the product of that company can be easily identified in the market. No other company can use its brand and name.

Trademark Examples like- If we have made a mobile purchase from the market and we use Trademark to represent the name of the company that has created that mobile.
