Trade marks are a badge of origin or a brand name – what sets its products
or services apart from its competitors? Trade marks can be words, a logo,
or both. When a trade mark is ‘registered’ the owner can use the ® symbol
next to it. If people register their trade mark, they can stop other
people using it without their permission – maybe to put on
something which is inferior to their own products that could
damage the reputation of their brand.
