Trademarks are the words and symbols in which a company or person speaks to the marketplace. They become a reflection of the brand’s ethos, create consumer recognition and build credibility.

A language of their own

It takes significant investments of time and resources to design, develop and implement brand elements like business names, logos or color palettes. As such, trademarks are universal across industries and company size. They are instrumental in creating a brand identity that is not only recognizable but protectable. And, when done right can lead to increased revenues and greater marketplace shares.

Imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery
