Trademark is a brand or logo which represents your Business. Hence, brand name Registration is nothing but Trademark registration. It basically means that “this brand name is ours, if anyone uses it to sell their products then we can sue you”. Thus, many a time, Trademark owners end up their valuable time in the litigation process because when the time was right, they did not do Trademark Registration of their brand name. To protect your brand name legally, registration of your brand name in India is essential.
