Title: Trademark Registration in Coimbatore| Use TM in 1 hr | Corpstore


1
You will register your Trademark, after reading
This!!!
  • Trademark Registration is one of the intellectual
    properties which distinguish your product or the
    company from other competitive companies. The
    trademark selection must be unique else you will
    end up in facing legal issues. Thus a trademark
    uses logo, design, words, and phrases as its
    important elements and it should be registered.
    Generic words, confusing names like U fit, FitU
    must be avoided. There is unique name
    collaboration like names of car and animal can be
    used. For example Ford Mustang. Trademark holders
    may forget to register their domain names hence
    it paves the way for cyber squats to steal the
    domain names.

Cyber Squats Trademark Registration
  • Trademark Registration speaks about cyber
    squats, where cyber squat is defined as illegal
    use of domain names. Mostly the domain names are
    misspelled or wrongly named to attract the
    websites. Cyber squat can also be termed as
    domain squat.
  • Trademark Registration in Coimbatore says that
    cyber squat rose when most of the companies who
    intended to start the business over internet were
    not aware of cyber squat. Those companies were
    not techno savvy. But nowadays, businesses now
    know how to nail down their domain names. You are
    looking onto the website and you are taken to
    sites stating like under construction, cant
    find server then it means you are dealing with
    cybersquatting. If any of the domains take you to
    the functioning website, then if you find
    advertisements in it there may also arise problem
    of cyber squat.

How ICANN helps in Trademark Registration
  • Trademark Registration  says that ICNN stands for
    International Corporation for Assigned Names and
    Numbers. It was established in 1998, in U.S. ICNN
    does not prevent the spam and does not control
    any content on the website. It checks over the
    names and numbers on the website address. If
    there are two website addresses have the same
    name this may lead to confusion and discrepancy.
    So ICANN helps in getting the website address
    having distinguished name. It recent times
    develop mechanisms that enable the trademark
    holders to protect rights during the DNS
    expansion.

Trademark Clearing House
  • Trademark Registration  says that when trademark
    infringement happens due to website contents or
    domain names you may contact the website owner
    you may have legal counsel and also begin an
    administrative proceeding under Uniform Domain
    Name Dispute Resolution Policy. Another step
    taken by the ICANN is to establish Trademark
    clearing house to protect the trademark from
    potential infringement. It protects with new TLD
    (Top Level Domain). With TMCH (Trademark Clearing
    House), the trademark data can be centralised.
    Before trademark registration you can check it.
  • Trademark Registration says that it reduces
    administrative workload and the cost for the
    trademark owners. It will give you warning in the
    event of similar applications. If you go for
    registering the trademarks in the TMCH you will
    get an alert message warning you that similar
    name is revolving. So it will ensure that there
    is no duplication. These are the two key
    functions of TMCH.

Key functions of TMCH
  •  Trademark Registration says that when once
    registered on TMCH, the trademark owners will be
    notified and can necessary action will be taken
    on the infringers. The clearing house accept only
    the following Registered trademark, Court
    validated trademark and marks protected by marks
    protected by statue or treaty. If trademarks that
    start with dot it can be neglected.

Generic Top Level Design
  • Trademark Registration says that ICANN introduces
    gTLD. It is called generic Top Level Design.
    There are 23 types of gTLDs in practise. And
    these gTLD fall in various categories. To
    challenge the infringement it is widely used.
    This feature allows all the trademark data to be
    populated in centralizes database. TMCH can be
    divided into two branches. They are Validation
    centre and Data centre.
  • The validation centre authenticates the
    intellectual property rights through research.
    After elaborate research the status is given
    as verified. The data centres hold all IPR cases
    which are verified. A reference number is
    attached to each case. It acts as identification
    number for the owner and term. The reference
    number supports IP claim process by giving
    necessary information. It happens whenever third
    party applies for verified term that is stored in
    Data Centre.

Some examples
  • Trademark Registration says that recently GoDaddy
    and Academy Awards ended up in five years
    battling over cybersquatting issues. It was
    definitely expensive but it is considered a
    landmark in cybersquatting space. Also a
    trademark of South Korean fried chicken lost the
    battle to the designer. The name is Louis
    Vuitton. Also the restaurants logo and packaging
    are similar. The trademark registration is now
    broader than the copyright. Why copyright comes
    here means, the logo can be given copyright
    because it has the art form and this piece of
    work can be given copyright. We can also see
    standard character trademark which can also be
    referred as word marks. Also it gives broad
    protection to words or phrases. So trademark
    registration is integral part of intellectual
    property rights.
