What is a trade mark?
A trade mark can be seen as the badge of a business. It's a distinctive way of representing your goods or services that sets them apart from those of other traders. It is a valuable piece of intellectual property and can play an important role in your marketing and branding activities. A trade mark can be:

A word, phrase or slogan

A logo or symbol

A sign or form of packaging

A colour

A gesture

A brand name

Your company name

A trade mark must be distinctive for the goods and services you use it for. It also mustn't mislead people about the nature of your products or services. Common law may give some trade mark protection automatically, provided sufficient trading reputation and goodwill have been built up in a mark. But this is likely to be difficult and costly to defend against infringement. For added protection you should consider registering your trade mark. If you want to register a trade mark in the UK it must be possible to represent it in words and pictures. Registering a trade mark costs money and you need to get it right. But registration establishes in law that your mark is a trade mark and belongs to you alone. You then have an automatic right to sue anybody who infringes it. In fact, just registering a trade mark can serve as a deterrent to people who might otherwise infringe it.
Registering your trade mark can also help you profit by allowing you to sell or license it like any other piece of property.
