Top Reasons Why Your Business Should Register Its Trademarks

A trademark is your business'  recognizer, it plays a very vital role for any business. it protects ownership of your name, logo, tagline, or uniqueness whatever mark you may use to identify to the consuming public your business' product or service in the market. Here are just a some important reasons why you should to protect your brand:


Notice


Trademark registration of your business gives everyone helpful notice of your ownership. According to Legal Legend's view, this is one of, if not the most compelling cause for registering your mark. With notice, a third party doing a search on an equal or similar mark as yours will see that you already own the mark, and is therefore put on notice that its use of an identical or similar mark to yours may result in trademark limitation. The third party is placed on attention to find a new and different mark. With such notice, registering your mark prevents a potential dispute in the future. That's why Trademark Renewal is very necessary for all kinds of business.


Social Media


Social media is a crucial resource for many businesses. Customers search for brand names on several social media sites and platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Reddit. Each social media has policies in place to keep safe against wrong activities including false marketing. Unfortunately, the action of a person or authority wrongfully using another company's name or brand on social media for financial benefits , for example, is not uncommon. Such wrong practices can result in the spot suspending the wrongdoer's social media account. See the venue's policies for more details. However, I have found that when you complain to a social media platform of such a wrong thing and claim that another person is using your brand without taking your permission, the social media administrator responds with an appeal of proof of ownership of the subject trademark. A trademark registration gives fascinating proof of trademark ownership.


Brand Loyalty


Registering your business trademark shows a commitment to your brand and shows your customers that loyalty. The goodwill that can be developed through such faithfulness is precious to a business in every market.


Cybersquatting


Cybersquatters register for any domain names that are identical to other parties' trademarks or known brands with the sole intention of selling them (to the rightful owner) for a high fee. The Anti-Cybersquatting Buyer Protection Act allows a trademark owner to claim and collect damages from individuals who register a domain name that is similar to your trademark.


Trademark Renewals Services


Trademark registration can sustain for as long as you continue using the mark in business. There are some companies or Contract Lawyers that have registered trademarks and provide trademark renewal services in South Africa at very affordable costs that are over 100 years old.


Trademark registration may not be for every business. However, there are many informal reasons for protecting your brand just as you protect any other business asset. A trademark is your business' brand, its identifier. Protect it very carefully with trademark registration.
