  1. Things To Know Before You Apply For A Trademark

  2. Different Types of Trademark

  3. What Is Trademark? A trade mark is a way of identifying a unique product or service. It's a form of brand protection which distinguishes between your products or services and those belonging to your competitors. A trade mark is not just ‘a logo’. It can be a letter, number, word, phrase, sound, smell, shape, logo, picture, movement, aspect of packaging, or a combination of these.

  4. Trademark Wiki The first legislative act concerning trademarks was passed in 1266 under the reign of Henry III. In France, the first comprehensive trademark system in the world was passed into law in 1857. The 1938 Act, which served as a model for similar legislation elsewhere, contained other novel concepts such as "associated trademarks", a consent to use the system, a defensive mark system, and a non claiming right system. The symbols ™ (the trademark symbol) and ® (the registered trademark symbol) can be used to indicate trademarks; the latter is only for use by the owner of a trademark that has been registered.

It might be your corporate logo, a jingle you use in an advertisement, your business name painted on the side of your truck or your signage or packaging.

  6. Trademark Can Be Removed For Non-use You must actively use your trade mark in the course of trade. If you don’t, it can be removed on the grounds of non-use. This is to discourage traders from registering multiple trade marks simply to stop others from using them. Anyone may apply for removal of a trade mark due to its non-use. The earliest a non-use application can be made is five years after the filing date of the registered trade mark, and you must be able to demonstrate that the trade mark has not been used in the past three years. If a request to remove your trade mark from the register is received, we will send you a notice and you can defend your trade mark's removal.
