Many people believe that once they register their business and trade name in the Business Registration Certificate, this name would instantly be protected as a trademark. This is a widespread mistakes. It essential to distinguish between trade names and trademarks.
A trade name is the full name of your company, such as “Blackmark International Limited Liability Company,” and it is tied to your company. It usually concludes with words indicating the company’s legal status, such as “limited liability – LL”,”corporation”, and so on. Meanwhile, the trademark is used to differentiate your company’s products from those of other companies. A company can have various brands. As an example, Blackmark International LLC may provide one product under the BLACKMARK brand but another under the REDMARK brand. Companies may use a trademark to identify all of their goods, a certain product category, or a specific sort of product. Some businesses may use trade names or parts of them as trademarks and should consequently consider trademark registration.
