Add value to your business with a registered trade mark
When it comes to business, the branding of your products or services is what sets you apart from other traders in the marketplace. Ultimately, your branding is your business identity and the value of your brand lies in its perception by consumers. Therefore, it is important for business to protect their reputation in the marketplace by registering their branding as a trade mark. Trade mark registration is the only way to protect a business’s name and reputation for the goods and/or services they provide throughout Australia.
Can your business name be trade marked?
A major concern when selecting a business name or any form of branding is whether it qualifies for trade mark protection. This is something many business owners do not consider when choosing a name for their company or product.
Trade mark infringement can stop your business dead in its tracks. It is important to get the right advice early in the process.
