Know More About TRADEMARK

A Trademark can be a single logo, word, symbol or a combination that sets apart your products and services from those of another in the same market system. The Registration of Trademark provides exclusive ownership and legal rights under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. It is an essential part of brand identity, as it can help businesses establish themselves and stand out from the competition. Lawfinity offers seamless trademark services across the nation. From trademark search and classification to filing, including objection and opposition handling, Lawfinity makes sure that your brand is protected and fully compliant under the law, with all the statutory framework that is needed.

Protecting your brand from being imitated and used unauthorizedly is crucial and that is where trademark registration comes into picture. It grants its owner a monopoly in use of the mark with respect to a particular product or service. Without having it registered, your competitors could take advantage of your name and you will have a hard time enforcing your rights. Lawfinity ensures that your brand’s image and identity is protected across all the legal fronts.
