A trademark is a symbol or a word used by a company to identify itself or one of its products in the marketplace. Symbols are often logos printed on company stationery or displayed at company offices, on vehicles, or in advertizing. A well-known example is Coke®. The right to use a trademark can be protected by registering it with the appropriate government agency. The symbol ‘®’denotes that a trademark is registered. Its use by others is thereby restricted.
