A trademark is a graphic symbol that can be used to distinguish the products or services of one business from those of another, and it can take the shape of a word, device, or label that is affixed to articles of commerce. A trademark must be a mark that includes a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of goods, packaging, combination of colours, or any combination thereof, as stated in Section 2 (1) of the Trademarks Act, 1999. (m).

The purpose of a trademark is to identify the manufacturer or quality buyer of the goods, as well as the trade source from which the goods originate, the trade hand through which they travel from where they originate, or the trade hands through which they transit on their way to the market. A trade mark serves four purposes in modern economic contexts:

It identifies the product and its place of origin, ensures its unaltered quality, promotes the product/service, and builds a brand for it.

A trademark should be chosen or adopted with great care. The most common error is selecting or adopting a mark that is descriptive of the goods or services.The following qualities should be present in a good trademark:

If it’s a word mark, it should be simple to read, say, and remember. 
A device mark should allow for the device to be described in a single word. 
It should be concise and simple to accurately spell and write legibly. 
Although it shouldn’t be descriptive, it could hint at the quality of the goods. 
It must adhere to the Trademarks Act of 1999 standards. 
It cannot be a part of the class of marks that are not allowed for registration. 
It must not resemble anything else.

Any individual or organisation (company, trust, society, or LLP) that asserts ownership of a trademark may submit a trademark application for the intended description of products or services.
