WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?
A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design (like a brand name or a logo) that distinguishes the products or services offered by one party from those offered by others.
Generally, trademark law seeks to prevent confusion among consumers about who provides or is affiliated with a product or service. The owner of a trademark may be able to prevent others from using its trademark (or a similar trademark) in a way that would confuse people into thinking that there's a relationship between the trademark owner and a person who isn't authorised to use the trademark, or that the trademark owner endorses that other person's products or services.
The owner of a trademark typically claims rights to a trademark through registration with a recognised trademark office.
