What is Trademark Registration?

Trademark Registration is the legal recognition of a brand name, logo, sound, phrase, or design that represents your products or services. It provides exclusive ownership rights to use the trademark and prevents others from copying or misusing it. Once registered, it acts as your brand's legal identity and gives you the authority to take legal action against infringement or duplication.
