How to design a trademark?
Due to the rapid development of business in Ukraine and abroad demand for registration of a trademark (brand, logo) increases daily.
Today, the owners of firms that produce various goods or provide a range of services, special attention is paid to creating your own recognizable brand. Their marketing departments design and create logos, slogans, and various advertising campaigns that make their firm recognizable and unique. This is the most difficult work, which requires an investment, both intellectual and financial. Qualitatively developed brand is your individuality and uniqueness.
However, along with the positive aspects come the negative aspects - there are companies that produce or sell their products under your brand, use your slogans and logos.

So how do you protect your brand (trademark)? It is necessary to obtain the legal right to use it.

Trademarks are of the following types

Verbal. Most often these are words, numbers, a set of letters and numbers, as well as their combinations. Verbal TMs can include "slogans", mottos, company names, etc.
Pictorial. Represents graphic elements in a single plane. Examples are: labels, logos, etc.
Volumetric. This type of TM represents three-dimensional types of images.
Combination. It is a combination of the above species in various combinations.
In addition to the standard types of TM there are unusual: smells, unusual color combinations, etc.

When registering a TM there are also a number of restrictions: a number of words, terms and common designations, which are prohibited to use when creating a trademark.

When creating your own trademark, pay special attention to the limitations and exceptions provided by the legislation of Ukraine.

Trademark registration gives you a unique legal right to use your trademark, and no one but you has the right to produce goods under this TM. In practice, there are cases when the owner of an unregistered brand has been producing goods or providing services under this “name” for years, and when he decides to register it officially, he encounters the fact that someone (most often a competitor) has already applied for registration of this brand on his own behalf. This is why you should register your trademark as soon as possible. In this case, you will have absolutely legal grounds to sue for the use of your TM.

Please note! Obtaining a domain “ua” is possible ONLY after the registration of the trademark!
