Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Compliance Queries

A trademark is essentially a characteristic of your brand. It could be your brand name, your brand's logo, or even your brand's slogan. For example, 'Nike', the 'Swoosh', or the slogan 'Just Do It'. In some cases, the brand's name and logo are combined into one, as in the case of BMW, or Coca-Cola. That is called a Logo Composite Mark.

A trademark grants you commercial rights to sell a particular brand name in a certain sector of the economy. There are 45 sectors and each sector is called a class. For instance, Class 28 refers to Toys, Games, and Sports. So if you want to protect your toy brand, you need to make an application under Class 28 and get exclusive commercial rights, to sell your brand of toys under that class.

If you have a certain brand name, or a logo, or a slogan in mind, we can do a trademark search for you. A simple way to do this yourself, is to just go online to the internet and check if there is a similar company with a similar name to yours, on the internet. You should also check if the domain name of your brand is available or not
