The trademark is a valuable asset for a
company because the trademark is considered intellectual property (IP). To
protect on your business mark or Logo, it’s advisable to register your
trademark before conducting business due to a high rate of intellectual
property (IP) piracy.
You may derive some advantages from
registering your trademark, such as:
-
Constitutional
priority right as first to file. The person or legal entity who is the
first to file the trademark generally has priority to use the registered
trademark
-
Exclusive
protection of the product (goods and services) from infringement claims by
others in commerce activities
-
Legal
reinforcement of the position of trademark owners in court if there is
litigation
-
As
a value added of goods or services in quality and reputation to the public
The following are some common examples of
marks that cannot be registered as a trademark:
-
Marks
that are descriptive (e.g. super, best, cheap, one dozen)
-
Marks
that are common to your trade (ones that have become well accepted in
relation to your trade and do not distinguish the goods or service you are
offering)
-
Marks
that could offend or promote immoral behavior
-
Deceptive
marks (ones that could misrepresent the nature, quality or geographical
origin of the goods or services)
-
Marks
that are identical to earlier marks
-
Marks
that could cause confusion (similar or identical to an earlier mark and in
relation to similar or identical goods or services provided by the owners
of the earlier mark)
-
Marks
that are identical or similar to Well Known Marks.
Nevertheless, foreign businesses who register
their trademark through the international route still need legal assistance for
a comprehensive understanding of the legalities of running a business in local
country. This can prevents any future disputes or infringement.
