Trademark Registration is the Strongest Protection for Your Brand

Registering your brand as a trademark is crucial for building a strong brandawareness of your products or services. It is also a core element needed to protect your business from any potential infringements and is a powerful instrument to block the entire business of unfair competitors related to your brand.

It is not only a brand name or a logo or a combination of both that brand is made of. Slogans, product design, brand colours, and melodies – all add their own value to the brand recognition. Any of these variations can be registered as a special type trademark.

Needless to say that a registered trademark can be legally possessed, licensed, assigned, contributed in kind to the share capital, pledged as collateral in exchange for the monetary asset, used to attract investments and many more.
