Q. What is a Trade Mark?
A. A trade mark is any sign which can distinguish the goods and
services of one trader from those of another. A sign includes words, logos, colours,
slogans, three-dimensional shapes and sometimes sounds and gestures. It is used as a
marketing tool so that customers can recognise the product of a particular business.
Q. What's the difference between TM and
�?
A. You may use the � symbol to
show that the word/logo referred to is a registered trade mark. You may use the
TM symbol to show that the word/logo referred to functions as your trade
mark, but is not necessarily registered.
Q. How do I enforce my rights?
A. IP rights are private rights. If someone infringes those rights, you can seek
injunctions and damages. At any rate, you have rights you can enforce.
Q. What are the benefits of a Trade Mark Registration?
A. Many people question the need for spending money on registering
their trade mark. The answer is YOU MUST. A registered trademark is like an
insurance that gives the owner the exclusive right to use the brand for the goods
and/or services for which it is registered. You can take infringement action against
anyone else who uses it - the fact that you have registered your mark means that any
infringer has to take you seriously. It enables the bringing of criminal charges
against counterfeiters.
Only a registered trade mark protects your business.
Q. Once the trademark been registered, no one in New Zealand
can use our name or similar name? even if the pronunciation is close?
A. The trademark will give you a monopoly in New Zealand, for the trade mark
itself and anything similar. Thus similar pronounciation, spelling, variations of
the name (including reversing the name) and simliar domain names would all likely
be considered infringements.
Q. Can I trade mark my logo?
A. Yes.
Trade Mark Registration gives you, the
owner:
- the exclusive right to use the trade mark, and
- the right to prevent unauthorised use through a legal
action for infringement.
