Corporate
logos/ designs are the "face" of a company. They are graphicaldisplays of a company's inimitable identity, and through colors and fonts and
images they provide essential information about a company that allows customers
to identify with the company's core brand. Logos are also a shorthand way of
referring to the company in advertising and marketing materials; they also
provide an anchor point for the various fonts, colors and design choices in all
other business marketing materials.
But you will feel steal from of the time and creative
strategies you have employed in conceiving the business idea, if your design is
being used by anyone else without your due permission. Taking action against that
person who is found misusing your logo or design will be less time consuming and
rather easy when your logo is registered as Trademark. So, trademark plays a
very important role in a growing business in India.
As far as area limitations are concerned, Trademark
registration has territorial limitations and the registration of a trademark in
one country does not legally protect it from use by other companies in other
countries except for countries which have signed international protocols for
trademark protection. For example, if you are into a designing business within India,
then, trademark registration in India is sufficient, but for businesses operating
across borders, say in US, UK, Canada, etc, then it is important to consider
the registration of their trademark in every country they have presence in.
Trademark registration is based on class: goods, services,
Certification and collective trademarks and are sub-classified into many
different classes: for example; precious metals, medical services, etc. A
trademark is only protected within the class that it is registered, and
therefore only protected form third parties offering similar goods or services.
It is always beneficial to register a trademark across several classes in order
to broaden the scope of protection.
