Do you know that it is an offence to falsely indicate a trademark as being registered when it is not? But how do you know whether a trademark is registered? Well, you can do a trademark search at your local trademark office or sometimes you see the symbol "TM" or ® . Do you know what they mean though?

The symbol ® is used when the mark is already validly registered and active, whereas the symbol of TM denotes that the given mark is a trademark but not yet a registered trademark. As was mentioned in our previous blog post, trademark registration goes through numerous process such as application and opposition stage before it proceed to being registered. 

There are many types of trademark. Set out below are the different types of trademark:-
