Type of registration
Trademark
A trade mark is any sign which serves in business to distinguish the goods and services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings and over which the owner has an exclusive right. Their use, except in special cases, does not grant any right, so they need to be registered in order to be protected. Registration is carried out in relation to the goods and services we wish to protect in accordance with an international classification which includes a total of 45 classes.
The registered trademark confers on its proprietor an exclusive right therein. The proprietor is entitled to prevent all third parties, who do not have his consent, from using in the course of trade the same or similar signs for identical or related goods and/or services as those protected by the registered trademark.

Registration confers on its proprietor an exclusive right therein. The proprietor is entitled to prevent all third parties, who do not have his consent, from using in the course of trade the same or similar signs for identical or related goods and/or services as those protected by the registered commercial name.
