trademark, distinctive mark placed on or attached to goods by a manufacturer or dealer to identify them as made or sold by that particular firm or person. The use of a trademark indicates that the maker or dealer believes that the quality of the goods will enhance his or her standing or goodwill, and a known trademark indicates to a buyer the reputation that is staked on the goods. Registration of a trademark is necessary in some countries to give exclusive right to it. In the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, the sufficient use of a trademark not previously used establishes exclusive right to it, but registration is provided as an aid in defending that right. In the United States trademarks are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Internationally, trademark registration is facilitated by the World Intellectual Property OrganizationWorld Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO), specialized agency of the United Nations, with headquarters at Geneva. WIPO became an agency in 1974, but its roots go back to 1883 when the need for international protection of intellectual property prompted the Paris Convention

Imitations of a trademark wrong both the owner of the trademark and the buyer, who is misled as to the source of goods, and such infringements of a trademark are punishable by law. Service marks, which are used on services (such as insurance or brokerages) rather than on products, are also covered by trademark laws. Bibliography See M. Wright, Inventions, Patents, and Trade-marks (2d ed. 1933); P. Meinhardt and K. Havelock, Concise Trade Mark Law and Practice (1983). Trademark a symbol placed on merchandise or packaging material by industrial or trade organizations to provide individualized identification of the merchandise and of its manufacturer or seller. Trademarks may consist of words, combinations of letters or numerals, or family names, or they may be descriptive, in the form of drawings, graphic symbols, or combinations of colors. They may also be three-dimensional, embodied in the shapes of articles or the packaging. A trademark is an object of industrial property. It serves to advertise the merchandise and guarantee its quality. Trademarks are used in both national and international trade. The procedures for acquiring the rights to trademarks and for their use and protection are defined by national legislation and international agreements. For example, in the USSR the relevant legislation is the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of May 15, 1962, On Trademarks (approved Jan. 8, 1974, by the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on Inventions and Discoveries). The most important international agreements are the 1883 Paris convention on the protection of industrial property and the 1891 Madrid convention on registration of trademarks, both of which have been ratified by the USSR. In all socialist countries and most capitalist countries (such as the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Japan, Italy, and the Scandinavian countries), the exclusive right to a trademark is acquired through official registration (in the USSR, with the State Committee on Inventions and Discoveries). In some countries, such as Great Britain, the USA, and Switzerland, the right to use a trademark is acquired simply through its actual commercial use. trademark the name or other symbol used to identify the goods produced by a particular manufacturer or distributed by a particular dealer and to distinguish them from products associated with competing manufacturers or dealers. A trademark that has been officially registered and is therefore legally protected is known as a Registered Trademark trademark
Related to trademark: Registered trademarktrademarkn. a distinctive design, picture, emblem, logo or wording (or combination) affixed to goods for sale to identify the manufacturer as the source of the product and to distinguish them from goods sold or made by others. Words that merely name the maker (but without particular lettering) or a generic name for the product are not trademarks. While a trade mark may exist from its first use, it is wise to register a trademark with the U. S. Patent and Trade Mark Office to prove its use and ownership, or register it with the Secretary of State in a state for products not in interstate commerce (such as a restaurant). Federal trademarks last as long as they are used and there are up-dated re-registrations. "Use" means placing the mark on a regular basis on goods manufactured and/or sold, and not abandoning the trademark by not placing it on new goods made or sold. Patent law specialists can conduct a search for similar trademarks to avoid the costs of wasting time and money on adopting an existing trademark owned by another. Use of another's trademark (or one that is confusingly similar) is infringement and the basis for a lawsuit for damages for unfair competition and/or a petition for an injunction against the use of the infringing trademark. (See: trade name, service mark, infringement, copyright, unfair competition) trademark a sign which denotes the origin and indicates the quality of a product or service and which is, as a signifier of the corresponding trade reputation, protected by trademark law. Nowadays, trademarks fulfil increasingly an advertising and differentiation function, whereby the indication of origin becomes less important. Trademarks can be registered (‘(r)’) or unregistered. Unregistered trade marks are protected by PASSING OFF. The Trademarks Act 1994 applies to registered trademarks. For the registration of a mark in the trademark register, the mark must be a sign, capable of graphical representation (so that it may be entered on the register) and capable of distinguishing the applicant's goods or services from those of other undertakings (enterprises). A sign can consist of words (also personal names), letters, designs (and combinations of all these), the shape of goods (three-dimensional mark), in principle colours or colour combinations and everything else which is capable of being represented graphically. Thus a musical notation for the graphical representation of sounds suffices (sound mark), but a chemical formula for a taste or smell does not. If no absolute grounds or relative grounds for refusal of registration apply, a trademark will be registered for the class(es) of goods and/or services as requested by the applicant. Absolute grounds for refusal of registration concern objections inherent in the sign itself, either because it is not: - (i) a sign capable of graphical representation;
- (ii) not distinctive (e.g. a common surname);
- (iii) wholly descriptive (e.g. the mark ‘purple’ for paint), or:
- (iv) generic (‘Aspirin’).
The obstacles of (ii)-(iv) can be overcome if the applicant can show that the sign has already acquired distinctiveness through use. Refusal of registration on a relative ground occurs where the sign is in principle registrable but conflicts with an earlier mark which is identical or confusingly similar and for the same or similar goods or services, whereby this earlier mark has already been registered, or at least applied for earlier (earlier date of priority), provided the earlier mark will have become registered later. If a trademark has been registered despite one of these absolute or relative grounds, anyone can apply for a declaration of invalidity of the registration. The relative grounds for refusal of registration mirror the types of trademark infringement: the successful applicant and subsequent owner of the registered trademark (which he can also transfer or assign or license) can resist any use, in the course of trade, of a sign which is identical or confusingly similar to his own trademark in relation to the same or similar goods or services for which his trademark is registered. The classes of registration in the trademark register give an indicator as to the similarity of the goods or services in question, but are not decisive. Furthermore, in certain cases trademarks with a reputation in the UK are protected also in relation to dissimilar goods/services and therefore beyond the classes for which they are registered. The defences in a trademark infringement action include the use of one's own name or address if that complies with honest commercial/industrial practices, or the use of the mark for advertising the trademarked goods or services in relation to them (spare parts supply etc.). A registered trademark can be revoked if it has not been used for an uninterrupted five-year period for no good reason. Otherwise a trademark must be renewed every 10 years and, in this way, it can remain valid for an indefinite period. It is also possible to register a European Community Trademark at the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (Alicante) which gives protection in all European Union Member States. The Community trademark system corresponds generally to that in the UK, but there are differences, especially in the application procedure. Trademark
