Overview
A brand name or logo is often a business's most valuable asset. Registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 gives the owner the exclusive right to use the mark for the registered goods or services and the right to sue for infringement.
A proper search before filing, the correct class and description of goods or services, and a well-reasoned reply to objections make the difference between a smooth registration and years of delay.
