Trademark Filing

Trademark registration can be obtained for a business name, distinctive catchphrases, taglines, or captions. Properly used and promoted, a Trademark may become an intangible asset of any organization. It is used by the company or individual to create an identity and authenticity for their brand. It tells the public that this is a particular brand he/she is looking for by distinguishing it from the available rest thus making it trustworthy. It enables an enterprise to protect the brand in order to prevent anybody else from taking advantage of it.
