Trademarks: Protecting Your Brand Identity

A trademark is a distinctive mark capable of being graphically represented, which helps differentiate the goods or services of one business from another. It can include shapes, colors, packaging, or a combination thereof. In India, trademarks are governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, which provide a legal framework for registration, protection, and enforcement..

Trademark registration is a crucial step in building a brand, offering legal protection against unauthorized use of a name, logo, or slogan. It establishes a unique identity in the marketplace, safeguarding the reputation and trust associated with your brand. At RAS Intellect Solutions Private Limited, we specialize in guiding businesses and individuals through the intricacies of trademark registration, protection, and enforcement, ensuring that your brand remains secure and poised for growth.
