What Is a Trademark?
A trademark protects the distinctive elements of your brand that identify your goods or services in the marketplace. This can include brand names, logos, slogans, product names, and other identifiers that distinguish your business from competitors.
Trademark protection allows you to prevent others from using identical or confusingly similar marks and helps safeguard the reputation and value of your brand.
Examples of trademarks include:
• Company names
• Product names
• Logos
• Slogans
• Packaging identifiers
