Americans call them trademarks, Australians
use the term trade marks, Canadians refer to them as trade-marks
and some call them brands. Whatever you call them they are important
to almost every business. A trade mark is a symbol which is
used to represent your company as a source of the kinds of goods
and services it provides. Consumers relate to trade marks and
will express a preference for branded goods once they associate
a trade mark with their satisfaction. That's one reason the
law protects trade marks and provides significant advantages
to users that register their trade marks. Registration creates
nation-wide rights to use the mark and a host of procedural
advantages not available to unregistered marks.
Branded goods are considered key to international
trade and essential to almost any growing business.
Trade marks are good business tools because
they can be registered, implemented and used without great expense.
They can last indefinitely and usually improve with age. For
many businesses, the value of their brands exceeds the value
of all of their tangible assets combined. Key to this kind
of outlook is selecting a mark that is right for your business
and using that mark correctly.
