WHAT IS A TRADE MARK?

A trade mark is a sign which is used by a business to set its business activities (whether it be a product or serviced based business) apart from those of its competitors. Some famous examples of trade marks include Nike’s Swoosh and McDonald’s golden arches.

 

A trade mark is not only a business’s main brand name but also can be its:

  • Business name

  • Distinctive catch phrases
  • Logos and symbols
  • Colours
  • Distinctive shape of a product
