Trademark Registration
Registering your trademark means that you have the exclusive right to use the trademark on the goods and services for which it is registered. If other traders use it for the same or similar goods or services in your countries of registration without your consent, they may be liable for infringement of your trademark and you may take legal action. If you don't register your trademark, you can still use it but it is difficult to prove that you are the "owner" of the trademark and as such your protection is limited.
