Trademarks hold significant value in identifying products, goods and services and nurturing customer loyalty. A trademark is a sign that distinguishes goods and services of one trader from another. Logos, slogans, signatures, letters, numerals, packaging, shapes of products and packaging, scents, colours and sounds may be registered as trademarks. By registering a trademark you prevent others from using your mark or a similar mark for their own benefit on the back of the goodwill acquired from your trademark.
