Trade marks

A trade mark is registered for specific products and/or services that it is used for and must be different enough to tell those of one owner apart from another. It can be anything that identifies your brand, such as a name, logo, word, letter, number, the shape of the goods or packaging; it can even be a sound or a smell.  A trade mark is a legal right which gives you exclusive use of your mark on the products or services for which it is registered.
