There
are a number of distinct advantages associated with registering your trademark
rather than simply relying on common law or unregistered rights.
1. Securing Exclusivity
Registering
your trademark is the quickest and most cost-effective way to ensure legal
exclusivity for the use of your name or logo etc. Registering a trademark for
your business or product name is similar to obtaining a certificate of title in
relation to land.
Registering
your trademark significantly reduces the risk of being prevented from using
your name or logo by other traders. One of the most emotionally draining and
expensive things that can happen to anyone who owns a brand is receiving a
“cease and desist” letter from a lawyer which requires you to stop using the
name which you thought you owned.
2. Geographical Coverage
Registering
your trademark usually gives you nation-wide protection instead of rights that
are restricted to the specific areas or regions in which you trade).
Further,
if you want to expand overseas, this gives you a good platform to obtain rights
in other countries – even before you commence trading in those countries.
3. Controlling the Use of your Brand by
Others
Registering
your trademark makes it a lot safer and easier to licence the use of your
trademark to others (e.g. manufacturers, distributors, franchisees etc).
