Are you an entrepreneur with a vision to create your own brand? Generally, a brand name always comes along with the idea. But, be careful before you settle on a name. Since there are so many brands nowadays, almost all of them come with their own unique tagline and Trademark. 

A Trademark is a legal process of safeguarding the unique Sign, Expression, Logo of a Business Entity that helps the consumers to distinguish a product or service from others available in the marketplace. 

In the era of tough competition, making a place in the heart of your consumers is of utmost priority. Trademarking your brand identity is the way to do it. So before you rack your brain to come up with a catchy and singular name, you need to follow a few points.

10 Points to Remember before Designing the Trademark

1. Your Trademark should be unique

2. For a logo TM, it should be fanciful and suggestive.

3. Avoid using general terms from everyday speech and vernacular.

4. Check for any pre-existing similar mark in the market.

5. Do not make your Trademark long and descriptive.

6. The Trademark should be relevant to your company’s commodity.

7. Do not make the logo/design too confusing or complicated to understand.
