• Distinguished or Exclusive Mark

Trade mark registration provides its owner the exclusive right to use the mark in respect of the goods or services covered by it i.e. classes for which registration obtained. The most important reason for registration of a trade mark is the legal action against its unauthorised use. A trade mark registration allows the proprietor to sue for infringement and to obtain remedies such as interdict, delivery up infringing articles and damages.

• Intangible Property

Trade Mark Registration creates an identifiable intangible property. Trade Mark registration attaches the Reputation to the products and services offered by the owner and also creates goodwill of the business. Trade Mark registration establish the independent existence whereas an unregistered trade mark will never have a separate and independent existence. It will always form part of the goodwill and it will always be attached to the business. The only way in which to acquire a common law trade mark i.e. unregistered trademark, is to acquire the business as a going concern. Trade mark registration, by contrast, can be transferred like any other asset owned by a person or a company.

• Licensing or leasing

A registered trade mark can be licensed or leased. A trade mark licence can be recorded on the trade mark register, giving the licensee rights to institute legal proceedings in the event of infringement.

• Transferability or Assignment

A registered trade mark can be transferred. The same is not possible for an unregistered trade mark, which can only be transferred with the business as a going concern.

• Prevention

Trademark registration prevent other traders from using trademarks that are similar or identical to your registered trademark in relation to goods and services like you deal in. By using the ® symbol, owner put others on notice of his rights. Moreover, a registered mark can be found when others search the official register before choosing to commence using a particular name.

• Legal Protection

A trade mark registration is prima facie evidence of validity of the registration and the rights conveyed by registration. In legal proceedings relating to a registered trade marks the fact that a person is registered as the proprietor of the trade mark is evidence of the validity of the original registration of the trade mark, unless the contrary is proved. It provide legal protection against the use of same or similar mark by others.

• Registration of Mark in Foreign Jurisdictions

A registered mark can be used as a basis to obtain registration in some foreign countries, facilitating protection of the brand worldwide as the business expands.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1532687669616{background-color: #e6b707 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”service-con”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”A dedicated platform to answer all your Legal and tax related queries!” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1525543775278{margin-top: 36px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;border-left-width: 25px !important;background-color: #e6b707 !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_btn title=”POST QUERY HERE” style=”3d” color=”info” align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1525860802944{margin-top: 25px !important;border-top-width: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ftaxmuneem.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
