Trademarks
In a competitive market, businesses need to build a unique brand
identity and protect it. This is done through trademarks. A trademark is a sign, a slogan, a
logo or a combination of words and images. It can even be a particular sound or smell that
provides brand or product recognition. Some of the features of a good trademark are -
- Different from existing trademarks in the same business
- Neither simplistic nor overly complicated
- Assurance of a level of quality expected from the product or service
- Non-deceptive
