Trademark Protection Guide

Trademark: Your Shield Against Brand Counterfeiting (2026)

Your brand name and logo are your most valuable assets. Trademark Registration provides legal protection against anyone who tries to use your identity or sell counterfeit goods under your name.

What can be Trademarked?

In 2026, you can protect more than just a name:

  • Brand Names: The name of your business or a specific product.
  • Logos: Unique graphic symbols or emblems.
  • Taglines: Memorable slogans or catchphrases.
  • Unique Shapes/Colors: Distinctive packaging or color combinations (in specific cases).

Understanding Trademark Symbols

The ™ Symbol

You can use this as soon as your application is filed. It signals to the world that you are claiming rights to the brand.

The ® Symbol

You can only use this once your trademark is successfully Registered. Using it prematurely is a legal offense.

The Registration Journey

  1. Trademark Search: Checking if a similar name already exists in the 45 different classes of goods and services.
  2. Filing: Submitting the application to the Trademark Registry.
  3. Examination: Government officials check for any legal issues or similarities.
  4. Publication: Your brand is published in the Trademark Journal for public review.
  5. Registration: If no one objects, you receive your certificate, valid for 10 years.
