Trademark

A trademark is termed as a distinctive sign of some kind which is used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to uniquely identify the source of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities. It can be in the form of a logo, symbol, design, name, word, phrase, image, or a combination of these elements. The law considers a trademark to be a form of a legal entity's property; hence, proprietary rights in relation to a trademark may be established thru registering the trademark with the trademarks registry. When somebody registers a trademark, it gives him exclusive rights of using the mark in relation to its products or services for which it is registered. This will also prevent other people to use somebody's trademark without the trademark owner's permission.

Trademark infringement happens when a person or an entity uses a trademark which is identical or similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. As such, businesses usually infringe trademarks of other businesses as an unfair business practice in order to confuse or deceive consumers to avail of their products or services, thinking that these originated from the trademark owner. If a person is found to use another else's trademark without permission, the rightful owner may start a civil action against the infringer.
