The advent of the internet has heightened the importance of simple, easily understood brand names, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Writing for HispanicBusiness.com, Stephanie Storm explained that with more people using the web and in particular search engines, many are discovering products and services in this way.<\/p>\n

She noted that trademarks – the names or symbols associated with a specific company or product – can be “tremendously valuable” to companies building a brand.<\/p>\n

And with consumers now able to do business with companies around the world, they have never been more important.<\/p>\n

“With so much at stake, companies are much more likely to fight over trademark<\/a> rights,” Ms. Storm suggested.<\/p>\n
