LOGO Registration

WHAT IS LOGO REGISTRATION?

  1. Logo registration is the process of legally protecting a unique visual symbol or design that represents a business, brand, or organisation.
  2. A logo is a distinctive graphical representation that can include elements such as symbols, images, words, or a combination of these. It serves as a visual identifier of a particular business or brand.
  3. Registering a logo provides legal ownership and exclusive rights to use that logo for the goods or services it represents. It helps in preventing others from using a similar or identical logo, which can protect your brand identity.
  4. Logo registration is governed by intellectual property laws in India. The primary law related to trademark registration in India is the Trademarks Act, 1999.
