Trademark
A Trademark is a unique symbol, word, or phrase legally registered for use as representing a company or product. It’s essentially a brand’s identity marker, offering legal protection against unauthorized use. Think of it as a unique identifier that distinguishes your brand from others—like a signature or a logo that tells everyone, this is ours. It’s crucial in protecting your brand’s identity and preventing others from using something too similar.
Trademark Registration
Following the Indian Trademarks Act of 1999 (Section 2(zb)), a trademark is a distinctive marker that distinguishes products or services from competitors in the market. It encompasses various elements such as symbols, designs, expressions, or any identifiable feature linked to a specific brand. Remarkably, trademarks are open to ownership by individuals, corporations, or legal entities, making them accessible to a broad spectrum of entities and individuals alike.

Trademark Certificate & Brand Monitoring
Trademark registration is the process of registering a trademark with the government to protect it from being used without permission. A trademark is a identifiable symbol or expression which identifies a source’s products or services from those of others. Trademark registration in India is governed by the Trademarks Act 1999 and is administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks.
Trademark Opposition
Under the Trademarks Act of 1999, trademarks can be registered in India. To do this, trademark owners must submit their application to the Registrar of Trademarks.

This includes any combination of lines or colours that, once used, are appreciated visually in the final product. However, it excludes the functional aspects of construction or purely mechanical elements.
Copyright Objection
Copyright refers to the ownership rights to literature, theatre, music, artwork, sound recordings, and other works.

Copyright registration ensures that the writers’ rights to ownership and enjoyment of their works are protected and rewarded, which protects and rewards creativity.

Many inventors do patent filing for their innovations to shield their unique concepts from unauthorized use.
