Trademark registration is a crucial step for any business aiming to protect its brand identity. In India, trademarks provide legal protection against misuse and establish the credibility of your brand in a competitive market. Whether you're a startup, an SME, or an established enterprise, understanding trademark registration can ensure that your intellectual property is safeguarded.
A trademark is a unique symbol, word, phrase, logo, design, or a combination of these elements that distinguishes your goods or services from others. It serves as an identity marker, ensuring customers recognize and trust your brand.
