What is a Trademark?

July 25, 2016 by BollywoodPresents Team

In recent years, several Indian film and sport celebrities have trademarked their names (and even the title of their films or businesses). Here’s more on Trademark and its importance.

What is a Trademark?

“Trademark” is a symbol, word, or words, legally registered or established, to represent a company, brand or product. (Wikipedia)

Generally, a Trademark refers to a “brand” or “logo”. But in recent years, Trademark registrations have been obtained for business names, movie titles, distinctive catch phrases, taglines or captions.

A Trademark is one of the most valuable assets of any business. For the end user, a trademark indicates the origin of the good as well as an indication of its quality.

Registering a trademark is a legal process provided for under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 in India.

The Trade Marks Act, 1999 can be accessed at the following link:

Trade Marks Act, 1999
