Why have a Trademark?
A registered trade mark protects a brand, logo or trade name which you use in connection with your business. Many business owners are unaware of the value attached to their trade name or logo until someone else tries to appropriate it. If you do not register your brand as a trade mark, it is much more difficult, expensive and even impossible to prevent someone else from using your brand in competition with you.
Trade mark registration is straightforward and inexpensive compared with other forms of intellectual property protection. It is likely to be one of the cheapest investments you make into your business. A registered trade mark will maximise the value you can get from your business should you chose to sell it in the future.
