Trademarks legally distinguish goods or services of businesses from others. Trademarks protect brands, providing exclusive legal rights to use words, symbols, logos, or designs Worldwide. While business names and company names are registered, they do not prevent others from using the same name. In the long run, it can be difficult and expensive to legally enforce your brand without a trademark.
