Registered Trademarks what is a trademark?
The 1994 Trademarks Act defines a trademark as being any sign which is capable of being represented graphically and which can in the course of trade, distinguish the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings. Such signs may include words, including personal names, designs, letters, and the shape of goods or their packaging.
Are all trademarks registrable?
No. Because of the statutory monopoly granted in a registered mark, it would not be right to allow registration of marks which are, or are confusable with, words/symbols which other traders or providers of services should be free to use in the normal course of their business in relation to the same goods or services. Nevertheless, some such words/symbols may be registrable if it can be established that through use of them as trademarks they have in fact become recognised as marks which distinguish one person’s goods and services from those of other traders.
Also a trademark may not be registered if it is identical with or similar to, a mark already on the register in respect of the same goods and services, or similar goods and services.
