Why Register a Trademark?
April 2, 2009
Intellectual Property News and Interesting Facts
If you register a trademark the following benefits apply:
- You will gain the right to use the words “Registered Trademark” with your product.
- You will prevent others from using the trademark.
- It will be easier to set-up agreements with potential licensees.
If you register a trademark and gain the right to usage thereof, you gain a monopoly over your brand. It makes it possible to take legal action should someone copy or use a similar trademark for products in the same line.
By taking action you protect all your past and future investments into your brand.
Branding will be rather futile if done over a long period without first securing the brand through a trademark.
