It typically is a long process to pick the name for your brand; it takes time and effort. Did it take 12 cups of coffee and pages upon pages of scribbles before you settled on that winning brand name? This is a very common story. But before you finalise your trademark, be sure to register it because there could always be someone who thought of the same bright thing. We all know that a brand name and logo design are some of the first assets of a company and often can account for significant value in the set-up project. This brand name helps distinguish your brand from your competitors in consumers’ or clients’ eyes. Make sure you register your brand in India<\/strong> before other stakeholders come and attack its trademark.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Brand Name?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you think of a brand name, you might think that it is a trade mark. In actual fact, a brand name is only part of a trade mark. A brand name is a term that will distinguish it in future. A brand is considered successful when people remember it and are willing to connect it with a service or product in need. A trademark is tied legally to the organization. Only the company that claims the brand can use it because it is already registered, and no other firm can, or it is legal to launch a product.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Sole Ownership and Lawful Security:<\/b> Once the brand name is registered, the brand becomes the exclusive user of that trademark. Exclusivity is a very powerful aspect of the trademark; it strengthens the brand’s reputation and gives it legal protection. No other person can use the name as trademarks are unavailable for others. Exclusivity is what keeps the brand separate and powerful in the market and also helps build trust in the minds of customers.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Regulated by the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (India):<\/b> The controlling general of the registered patents, designs and trademarks is responsible for the process that registers your trademark and has a record of the same. This board provides a good, systematic, and dependable machine to register your trademark and gives the trademark owner the right to protect his intellectual property. It also gives several advantages as a trade mark holder. The downside to this office is it takes a long period of time to get your registration processed, and that period is usually 2-3 years.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Online and Offline Registration Options:<\/b> Available options for registering brand names make it convenient for brand owners through both online and offline methods. In the present digital era, online brand names can be registered and prove to be easy and streamline processes in the digital era. However, offline brand name registration services at trademark registry offices still exist that address different specific requirements as per the country\u2019s regulations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
