Trademarks

A trademark is a symbol which distinguishes the goods and services of a company from similar goods and services of other companies.

Traders should protect their trademarks by applying for trademark registration. Registration gives the exclusive right to use the mark as a symbol for goods or services. Only the registration holders may use the trademark in their business and may also prohibit others from using their mark or some other mark liable to be confused with it.
