Trademark law
A trademark “marks” a product and thus enables it to stand out from competitors’ goods.
This recognition value is particularly important in a competitive market, because a consumer’s connection to trademark can turn an unknown product into an unmistakable branded product. Accordingly, trademark is an asset that must be comprehensively secured.
