💡 IP Made Simple: Trademarks are more than just a logo

When you think of a trademark, you probably picture a logo. But your brand is much more than that. A trademark is any sign that helps customers recognise your goods or services and tell them apart from others.

✅ Words, such as a unique brand word
✅ Names, such as your business or product name
✅ Logos and symbols, including emblems, letters and numbers
✅ Signs and more, like slogans, labels, packaging and colour combinations
