What is a Trademark?
Many times people get confused between brand name and trademark. People consider them the same. But the reality is that they are two different important terms related to business.

As both the brand name and trademark included the sign, logo, symbol or marks, the confusion between them arises.
Not every trademark is widely recognized by the public, but brand names often enjoy widespread familiarity. Trademarks encompass signs, symbols, logos, or marks linked directly or indirectly to a business. These identifiers can be either secured or unsecured, playing a crucial role in distinguishing and associating products or services with a specific brand. Brand names, in particular, are commonly known among the masses, forming a significant part of how people identify and trust businesses.
