trademark registration
Registering your trade mark gives you, and only you, the exclusive right to use it to market your goods and services. If you have a registered trade mark you can put the ® symbol next to it to warn others against using it. If you use this symbol for a trade mark that is NOT registered it is an offence.
A registered trade mark:
- will put people off using your trade mark without your permission
- makes it much easier for you to take legal action against anyone who uses your trade mark without your permission
- allows Trading Standards Officers or Police to bring criminal charges against counterfeiters if they use your trade mark
- is your property, which means you can sell it, franchise it or let other people have a licence that allows them to use it.
