Trademark law
A trademark “marks” a product and thus enables it to be differentiated from competitors’ goods.
This recognition value is particularly important in free competition, because a consumer’s reference to a brand can turn an unknown product into an unmistakable branded product. Accordingly, a brand is an asset that needs to be secured extensively.

What is a trademark?
Trademarks – also called identifiers – serve to distinguish the goods and services of one company from those of other companies. Customers often associate a distinctive trademark with their ideas about the company’s brand and identity as well of the quality of its products. That’s why trademarks influence consumers’ buying decisions every day. They can therefore, depending on trademark recognition and brand awareness, they can represent a considerable asset value and contribute significantly to the success of a company.
