The Logo
is a valuable asset for any company because the Logo is considered intellectual
property (IP). To protect on your business mark or Logo, it’s advisable to
register your Logo before conducting business due to a high rate of intellectual
property (IP) piracy.
You may
derive some advantages from registering your Logo, such as:
-
Constitutional priority right as
first to file. The person or legal entity who is the first to file the Logo
generally has priority to use the registered Logo
-
Exclusive protection of the
product (goods and services) from infringement claims by others in
commerce activities
-
Legal reinforcement of the
position of Logo 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 Logo:
-
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 Logo through the international route
still need legal assistance for a comprehensive understanding of the legalities
of running a business in local country. This is to prevents any future disputes
or infringement.
