It provides a strong defense against infringement and gives you the ability to sue anyone using your trademark without authorization. Any Individual/ Sole Proprietor, Startup, Small Enterprise, or others, can file a TM-A form for applying for registering their mark. After going throw the process of examination of your application, the mark is registered if worthy and a certificate to use ® symbol in the trademark or logo is issued.
Step 1 – First step is to adopt a unique sign(s) that is supposed to be used to identify goods or services from a certain proprietor. They can be designs, pictures, signs or even expressions.
Step 2 – Before Appling for the trademark, trademark search shall be made to discover that the Mark that is being applied for being registered is not similar to any existing mark under the same class and is not likely to cause confusion in the minds of the targeted consumers.
