IP INFORMATION We have information and process diagrams regarding Trade Mark applications and Design Applications.Trade Mark Applications A trade mark is a badge of origin which distinguishes one trader’s goods or services from those of other traders. A trade mark can take the form of a word, phrase, letter number, logo, picture, shape, sound, scent, an aspect of packaging, or any combination of these.
