File Trademark Online
A trademark is a unique sign, logo, word, phrase, or combination of these that distinguishes one business from another. It represents the identity of a brand and helps customers recognize products or services easily. Registering a trademark gives exclusive ownership rights and legal protection against unauthorized use. Once registered, the trademark owner gets exclusive rights to use it and can take legal action against anyone who tries to copy or misuse it.
