Trade Marks And Registered Logos Review

We commonly see two signs with the logo that a company carries, Trade Mark (TM) and Registered(R). There is not much of a difference between the two. When a company has a trademark sign beside its logo, it means that it is source of providing an exclusive image to the products of that company. It does not give the exclusive rights of the used mark to the company and any other company can use it as well. Now let’s have a look at the meaning of the term registered. When a registered sign appears beside the logo of the company then it means that the logo has been granted legally to the company and no other organization can use it. If a company uses a logo that is already registered then the company faces serious legal obligations. To apply for a registered logo, a proper application is filled in which the products of the company are described. The design of the logo is also presented in the application and it does not have to be related necessarily to the company profile and the manufactured products. If the application is accepted then the logo is registered for the company for duration of ten years. After this duration, the application is renewed by the company. A trademark sign does not provide a company with the only rights of the logo. However a registered logo ensures that it is exclusively owned by a company. For the entire registration process, the correct methodology is to hire a legal expert.
