Trademarks represent valuable brand assets for organizations and their executive directors, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Writing for Smart Business, Kelly Borth, chief executive and chief strategy officer for Greencrest, explained that they are like patents – which prevent inventors from duplicating somebody else’s product – but offer greater protection in the sense that they do not have a limited right of use.<\/p>\n

And trademarks can be assigned to anyone or anything – the person who created it, the shareholders or the company who markets the products and services.<\/p>\n

Ms. Borth said trademarks, trade names or service marks are interchangeable terms and provide market differentiation, define proprietary processes, brand products and define ownership.<\/p>\n

Using them lays claim to company names, product and service names, positioning taglines, characters and artwork and more, she noted.<\/p>\n

A good example of this would be McDonald\u2019s. Try using a ‘Mc’ in front of anything and see what happens,” Ms. Borth said.<\/p>\n

“As consumers, when we hear something with the prefix ‘Mc’, we automatically connect with McDonald\u2019s because of the way the company has branded its products.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
