A Trademark is a sign used by a person in the course of business or trade to distinguish his goods or services from those of other traders. Registering a Trademark is not compulsory but it gives the owner rights to enable him to control the use of the sign and prevent others from using a similar mark without his/her permission. A registered Trademark adds great value to a business.

A registered Trademark can be any letter, word, name, signature, numeral, device, brand, heading, label, ticket, shape, colour, aspect of packaging or a combination of these.
