How to Restore a Trademark?

Trademark Restoration

The trademark of a company is the mark, slogan, word or phrase which is used for the product or services of a company. This mark is essential as it distinguishes the products of a particular company from that of other similar ones in the market. But the trademark only holds its value when it is registered under the Trademark Act, 1999. Hence, the trademark has to be registered under the government to avail the legal powers of suing the infringers or those who try to use the trademark unlawfully or using a duplicate trademark.

Role of IP professionals

The intellectual property is an intangible part of a company. It comprises various forms of statutory mark like Patents, Trade Marks, Copyrights, Industrial Designs, Plant varieties, topographies of printed circuits, geographical indications. Also, there are non-statutory intellectual properties like trade secrets, confidential information, trade dress, the equitable right to prevent 'passing off’, etc. Hence, the companies have the requirement of an IP professional, who can take care of their intellectual properties and assets.
