‘Trade mark’ is one of the most important intellectual properties recognized in business. Trade Mark means a mark capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing one’s goods and services from those of others. Trade mark includes a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of the goods, packaging or combination of colour or any combination thereof. It also includes an abbreviation of a name.

While applying for a trademark application, one needs to take into consideration one’s business activities and diversification plans in the next five years from the date of application.
