Trade mark registration

With continuous growth of international trade and the use of the Internet, trade mark protection becomes increasingly important. Registration of a brand as a trade mark grants the owner a statutory monopoly in the mark, which means they would have the right to sue for infringement, when another party uses the same or a confusingly similar brand relating to the same or similar goods/services to those covered by your registration.

Registered trade marks are a transferable property right which add value to a balance sheet and can substantially contribute to the success of a business being a strong marketing tool which attracts customers.

Advantages of registering a brand

Registration acts as a proof of ownership and entitlement to the trade mark.
Registration grants a statutory monopoly in the mark. Even if a competitor comes to the idea totally independently at a later date, the owner of the trade mark registration has the right to take action for infringement, even without proof of actual damage.
Registration can be obtained up to 5 years before the brand is to be used.
Registered brands can have value, be transferred, or the rights to use the mark can be licensed for financial gain.
Unlike patents and designs, Trade Marks remain registered as long as the renewal fees are paid every 10 years.
Any individual or corporate body may register a trade mark.
