Trade Mark Registration

We have been helping our clients in gaining Trade Mark Registration with our range of legal consultancy services. A trademark consists of:

A word or invented word
Signature
Device
Letter
Numeral
Brand
Heading
Label
Name written in a particular style
The shape of goods other than those for which a mark is proposed to be used, or any combination thereof or a combination of colors and so forth
Symbolized by the name of a person, living or dead

While choosing a trademark we make sure that the mark chosen should be capable of differentiating goods or services of one organization from those of the others. It is also made sure that it should not be deceptively similar to an existing mark of another person and not the one expressly prohibited under the Act.

Marks which cannot be registered:

Marks devoid of any distinctive character
Indicative of the kind, quality, quantity, purpose, value or geographical origin of the goods, or which are marks already in vogue in the trade due to their customary

A mark used in the relation to goods or services for indicating a connection in the course of trade between the goods or services and some person having the right as proprietor to use the mark is a trademark.

Functions of trademark :

Identifying the goods/ services and its origin
Guarantees the unchanged quality of the products
Advertises the goods or services
Creates brand image for the goods or the services
