A Trademark is a distinctive sign or indicator that is used to distinguish the goods and services of one party from those of others.
A trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design or a combination of these elements.
The owner of a trademark may initiate legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark. If you are using a name, word or logo in your business you can only protect it by registering it as a trademark.
