Trademark means the trade name or name, domain name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, color, design, image, slogan, or combination of such elements. It is the representation of an enterprise’s name, goodwill, or reputation via symbol, sign or otherwise.

Application for registration could be filed in head office or branch offices. Point to be kept in mind during application is, which are registrable as trademark and which are not. Sections 8, 9, 10 lays down certain matters that are not registrable.
Why Trademark Registration is important?
When an organization or individual commercially markets an intellectual property, they register a trademark specific for that asset. As a result, no one else can copy and market his intellectual property as he wishes. As a result, the rights of the proprietor are protected and if anyone else misuses his intellectual property, he can take legal action.
Legal Protection: Registering your trademark provides legal recourse against infringement. It allows you to take legal action against anyone who uses your mark without permission.
Brand Recognition: A registered trademark enhances brand recognition and consumer trust. It signifies authenticity and professionalism, distinguishing your brand in the marketplace.
Prevention of Unfair Competition: Trademark registration helps prevent competitors from using similar marks to capitalize on your brand’s success.
