Please avoid the selection of a geographical name, common personal name, or surname. No one can have a monopoly right on it. Avoid adopting laudatory words or words that describe the quality of goods (such as best, perfect, super etc.). It is advisable to conduct a market survey to ascertain if the same/similar mark is used in the market.

Difference between ‘TM’, ‘SM’, and ‘R’?

All of these symbols denote the stage of registration of a particular trademark. While the ‘TM’ symbol is usually found on marks that have been put in the course of being registered, the ‘SM’ is the service sector equivalent of the ‘TM’ mark. Although these symbols do not accord a proprietary right over the mark, yet, they still warn third parties from imitating the mark. On the other hand, the ‘R’ symbol signifies a registered trademark which offers a proprietary right over the mark to its owner.
