Infringement of a registered Trademark is not new. Indeed, it is a worldwide concern for many business owners. Likewise, it is noteworthy that the use of a brand, logo or trade name by a company does not make the company the owner of the brand until it is registered in the Country of Jurisdiction where in the business is carried out.
As soon as the process of registering a Trademark is completed, you become the rightful owner for the period the Mark is registered. After registration, your rights to utilize the brand or logo design are endless and if another party resumes or continues the usage of the trademark, an action of trademark infringement may be filed for redress at the ministry of Economy or the Court.
Here’s a list of prohibited actions relating to trademark registration:
Writing any statement at all on marks or trade papers that imply that they’ve been registered or they distinguish goods and services apart from what is mentioned in the Register, thereby, creating a deception.
