Trademark
What is a Trademark?
A trademark is a right that enables the goods or services of an enterprise to be distinguished from the goods and services of other enterprises. On the condition that the subject of the protection provided to the right owner is clearly and precisely shown in the registrations of the trade registry, the trademark can consist of all kinds of signs, including words, figures, colors, letters, numbers, sounds, personal names, and the shape of the goods or their packaging.
The Importance of Trademark Registration
Trademarks are among intellectual property rights and their critical importance makes them indispensable for firms. Thanks to trademarks, it is so easy to understand which goods or services belong to which entity anywhere in the world so that the reputation management is secured. The importance of branding, one of the most important elements of commercial life, is increasing day by day all over the world. It is important for individuals to register their trademarks in order to benefit from the protection provided within the scope of Industrial Property Law.
