What is a Trademark?
Trademarks are names or symbols used to identify the origin of some product or service. A Trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
What is a Copyright?
A Copyright is the protection that is afforded a work that is fixed in a tangible medium. Copyright laws grant the creator of the “work” the exclusive right to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform and display the work publicly.
Why register a Trademark?
A registered trademark bestows the exclusive use of that name, and provides for its owner the capability:
- To offer licenses and franchises.
- To be differentiated from competitors.
- To be protected from third parties using an equal or similar name, exercising the legal actions that correspond.
- To protect the Internet domain name.
- To impede others attempting to register similar trademarks.
- To have priority over third parties wanting to register their trademarks, in countries which do not require registration.
Singapore encourages inventors to patent and commercialize their inventions by introducing the Patent Application Fund. This scheme helps inventors defray some of the costs of filing patent applications.
