Who To Use For Trademark Registrations
Trademark registrations are done to ensure that the products for which registrations are completed are uniquely marked and distinguishable from that of competitors. The benefits of trademark registrations outweigh the waiting period and any costs involved.
For one, trademark registrations add value to a company. The value of a business is not only determined by its physical assets, but also by intellectual property and the skills of employees. When one considers franchising, trademark registration must be done to ensure protection of the brand. Through licensing agreements one can thus ensure royalty income for the usage of the trademark.
Smit & Van Wyk offers assistance with trademark registrations in South Africa and abroad. Since one obtains the right to use ® behind a slogan, logo or brand name once the trademark registrations have been completed, it can also act as deterrent against potential infringement by other parties.
