Intellectual Property News and Interesting Facts
A trademark attorney is an attorney who specializes in intellectual property other than patents.
Trademark attorneys are bound by a code of ethics that are laid down by the South African Institute of Intellectual Property Law.
Trademark attorneys can advise you on the protection of your trademarks, brand names, designs, logos as well as the laws that regulate intellectual property.
A trademark can be either a logo, a slogan or a brand name – in the case of Coca Cola it can even be the shape of the bottle.
It can be the most valuable asset of a business and it is important that it is adequately protected. A brand name is a word or combination of words such as “Kentucky Fried Chicken”.
Trademark attorneys can advise you on both the selection of trademarks or brand names and will carry out searches on your behalf to ensure there is no conflict with earlier trademarks.
