Trademark

A Trademark is a mark used by an individual or business organization which represents trade or business and which is capable of distinguishing goods or services from that of others.

A trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories, such as those based on color, smell, or sound.

A trademark may be designated by the following symbols:

• TM (for an unregistered trade mark, that is, a mark used to promote or brand goods)
• SM (for an unregistered service mark, that is, a mark used to promote or brand services)
• ® (for a registered trademark)
