A trade mark’s main function is to enable customers to identify a product (whether a good or a service) of a certain business and distinguish it from other identical or similar products supplied by rivals.

They must be able to differentiate between the identical items and trademarks help customers to know what are the products they want easily.

  • It allows you to prohibit others from marketing identical or comparable items under the same or a confusingly similar product everywhere in the country.
  • It makes it much easier to enforce trade marks since it decreases the burden of proof in legal system.
  • It serves as statement to all parties involved your claim to exclusive rights in the registered mark. Other traders, whether or not they conduct a search of MyIPO’s Trade Marks Register, are presumed to be aware that your trade mark is registered.
  • A registered trade mark may be easier to license to other businesses, giving an extra source of money for your company, or it may be easier to use as the foundation for a franchising arrangement.
  • It may also be utilized to seek funding from financial institutions that are becoming more conscious of the value of brands in company success.
