Trademark symbol on Keyboard - Definition
A trademark is defined as
either a word, name, symbol used by a manufacturer to distinguish his
goods from those sold by others. The Trademark symbol is used to identify
companies and brands and is an extremely important symbol we are all
familiar with in everyday life. A
trademark allows a company to identify something as its own and forbids
others to use it for commercial purposes without the proper licence.
Disney for example is a trademark but the company allows other companies
to produce goods depicting its characters providing they pay the
appropriate licencing fees to Disney. The two most common symbols used
to identify trademarks are ™ (trademark symbol) and ® (registered
trademark symbol).

countries patent office. Companies in America for example are required
to apply for a trademark in the US whereas companies in the UK have to
register with the British trademark office. It is vital that inventions
are registered and the appropriate application process is completed.
There are specialized patent lawyers and attorneys who can office
specific advice so it is wise to consult them as early as possible to
protect your invention.
