A company’s trademark is one of its most important assets and the basic element which enables a product or service to be identified and promoted on the market. This is why it is vitally important to ensure suitable legal protection for trademarks.
A trademark protection right grants the company exclusive use of the registered trademark within a particular territory throughout the protection period (which lasts 10 years and can be extended every 10 years). This serves to reduce the risk of infringement and makes it easy for entrepreneurs to seek damages should such infringements occur.
Having a registered trademark increases customer trust and supports the process of building the company’s professional image. Moreover, a trademark protection right is a company asset. This means is that it has a market value and may be traded to bring additional profit.
