Trademark registration is essential to protect your brand identity in India. Your brand is not just a name; it is the identity your customers trust and you have carefully built up over time. You have likely put years of hard work into building up your brand, and don’t want to see it diminished by a copycat. Imitation is common in today’s fast paced, competitive market. Your competitors and counterfeiters will try to copy your name, logo and/or tagline to take advantage of your hard worked reputation. If your brand has no legal protection, you will have to accept diminished credibility and it could result in a financial loss.
Registering your trademark serves as more than just a legal formality – it advances your business strategy and helps protect and grow your business. Without the registration process, your brand could be subject to imitation; this could confuse customers and possibly take away market share from you. Trademark registration provides you the ability to enforce your rights to your name or logo and stops others from taking advantage of the reputation you’ve built.
Trademark registration ensures exclusive rights to your brand elements; competitors will not be able to legitimately use or copy them.
Your registered trademark forms the basis of your applications for worldwide protection making it easier to take a corporate identity.
A registered trademark creates recognition of your brand and can help encourage customer loyalty and distinguish your products.
A trademark is also an asset that you can sell or license adding real, measurable value to your business; and it is just not protection of your brand identity.
