Why do we say that trademark protection protects both companies and consumers?
Because it is the only way for companies to protect their products in the markets where they market their trademarks, to help plaintiffs to identify them, to communicate their benefits and to build customer loyalty, to prevent them from choosing one product or service over another.
The registration of a trademark gives the company the exclusive right to prevent third parties from marketing identical or similar products with the same trademark or using a trademark so similar that it may create confusion.
Trademarks are part of our lives, from the moment we open our eyes, until we go to bed, we see trademarks.
What are the benefits of registering and protecting a trademark for companies, SMEs and entrepreneurs?
- They ensure that consumers distinguish products.
- They allow companies to differentiate their products.
- They are a marketing tool and allow the image and reputation of a company to be projected.
- They can be licensed and provide a direct source of income through royalties.
- They are a determining factor in franchise agreements.
- They can be important business assets - They encourage companies to invest in maintaining or improving product quality.
- They can be useful for obtaining financing.
If the company does not register the trademark, the investments it makes in marketing a product may be unsuccessful because rivals may use the same or a confusingly similar trademark to market identical or similar products.
If a competitor adopts a similar or identical brand, consumers may mistakenly buy the competitor's product. This will not only diminish the company's profits and confuse its customers, but will damage its reputation and image, especially if the rival products are of inferior quality.
Given the value of trademarks and the importance that a trademark can have for the success of a product in the market, it is crucial to make sure that it is registered in the market and countries where you market such products or services.
