Trademarks
Generally, a trademark is a word, slogan, logo, design or combination of words, logos, and/or designs that serves to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one party from those of another. Trademarks serve to protect the public from confusion and deception as to the origin and/or quality of goods or services, as well as protect the trademark owner’s reputation associated with the goods or services. Trademark laws achieve these goals by conferring a trademark owner with the right to prevent others from using the mark or a confusingly similar mark for similar and related goods and services.
