To enforce your trademark rights, you can send cease-and-desist letters, file legal actions, or seek remedies through intellectual property offices. Protecting your trademark requires monitoring the market and taking action against unauthorized use.

Before filing for registration, a trademark search is conducted to check if similar marks already exist. This helps avoid conflicts and ensures that your trademark is unique and available for registration.

Copyright protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, movies, software, and art. The creator automatically owns the copyright once the work is created and fixed in a tangible form. Copyright gives the creator the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, and display their work. It generally lasts for the creator’s lifetime plus 70 years, after which the work enters the public domain.

A trademark protects your brand, distinguishing your products or services from competitors. It helps build brand recognition, ensures exclusive rights to your brand name, logo, or slogan, and provides legal protection against infringement.

Trademark registration involves submitting an application to the relevant intellectual property office. This includes providing details about your trademark, the goods/services it represents, and ensuring it doesn't conflict with existing trademarks.

The trademark registration process can take several months to a year, depending on the jurisdiction and whether there are any objections or oppositions to your application. Regular follow-ups and proper documentation can speed up the process.

Yes, a trademark can be cancelled if it is not used for a certain period, is found to be too similar to an existing trademark, or if it becomes generic. Regular use and proper enforcement are crucial to maintaining your trademark rights. Additionally, trademark registration is a one-time payment, but it must be renewed every 10 years to keep your protection active.

A trademark protects brand identifiers (names, logos, etc.), while a copyright protects original creative works (books, music, software, etc.). Both offer intellectual property protection but serve different purposes in protecting your assets.

A patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to their invention, whether it's a new product, process, machine, or composition of matter. This legal protection prevents others from making, using, selling, or distributing the invention without the inventor's permission. Typically, patents last for 20 years from the filing date, after which the protection expires, and the invention enters the public domain. To maintain a patent, inventors must pay maintenance fees at regular intervals. Patents encourage innovation by safeguarding the creator's work and promoting the development of new technologies.

A trademark is a symbol, word, logo, or combination used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one business from another. It grants legal rights to the owner and protects against unauthorized use by others.

Registering a trademark provides legal protection, exclusive ownership rights, the ability to license or sell your trademark, and stronger enforcement against infringement. It also adds value to your brand, enhancing credibility and trust.

Not every word, logo, or design is eligible for trademark protection. Trademarks must be distinctive, non-descriptive, and not already in use by others. Our experts can help you determine whether your desired trademark is eligible.
