Trademarks:
Although registering a trademark or service mark is not compulsory, there are many distinct advantages of registering a trademark or service mark. The trademark or service mark is a legal presumption of client’s ownership of the mark and exclusive client’s right to use the mark in the country where it is registered. Upon registering the mark, the client officially notifies the public of his ownership claim of the trademark or service mark which represents his product or service. Registering a trademark or service mark shall be effective in the country in which the registration was sought, in addition to any member country of bilateral or multilateral agreements. Consequently, such registration may serve as a supporting documentation helping the trademark or service mark owner to apply for legal protection in other countries. The client is entitled to take legal action concerning the trademark or service mark protection since the trademark or service mark is legally protected.
