A trademark is a recognizable design, phrase, or mark that distinguishes a product or service from a particular source from those of others. Sometimes a mark used to identify a service is called a service mark, particularly in the United States. The trademark can be owned by a company, legal entity or individual and is usually found on a label, packaging, voucher, the product itself or sometimes even on company buildings. The primary purpose of a brand is to communicate that a product comes from a unique source and to differentiate it from other, similar products. For example, a trademark application serves to protect a brand name in order to preserve its original authorship.
Trademarks are protected by intellectual property rights. Intellectual property means a creation of the mind and a monopoly over that mind, assigned and protected by law to the owner of that intellectual property. Trademarks, patents, copyrights and design rights are all part of intellectual property rights. Any unauthorized use of the trademark through the manufacture or sale of counterfeit consumer goods constitutes an infringement of intellectual property rights known as trademark piracy. In the event of such infringement, the trademark owner may take legal action against trademark infringement.
Reasons to register and protect your trademark
Some countries, including the United States and Canada, recognize common law trademark rights, which allow action to be taken to protect a brand name even if a trademark has not been registered on it. Nevertheless, it offers significantly less legal protection compared to registered trademarks. Most countries now require formal trademark registration in order to take legal action against trademark infringement. Below is a quick guide on how to go through the process of registering your own trademark.
If the brand name is already in use before the trademark is registered, registration can be applied for under the concept of commercial use, declaring that the brand name is used commercially and is dated when it was first used. The declaration is usually included in the standard application form, which then has to be submitted to the competent authority with a sample showing the use of the brand name. Before submitting the registration form, it is necessary to search for existing trademarks related to a specific brand name - this can be done online.
Recent big trademark violation cases
There can be found numerous trademark infringement cases in the history of intellectual property rights. Each of them serves as a reminder that a violation of intellectual property is as serious offense as violation of physical property.

A trading company is a company that specializes in buying and selling products, acting as an intermediary between manufacturers and customers, and arranging the delivery or introduction of the products to a specific market.
Trading companies that ultimately deliver the goods to the customer also set up stores and warehouses so as not to become dependent on a manufacturer's ability to supply products on demand. Another peculiarity of trading companies is that they usually act as points of sale for several manufacturers; That is, one outlet sells the goods manufactured by several companies. Although this is not a requirement, in practice it is very likely that a shop selling the products of only one manufacturer will be a retail outlet of that manufacturer and not a trading company. In addition, trading companies can arrange all necessary procedures for the delivery of goods, including procedures for international trade.
Depending on the particular business, a trading company can function as either a retailer, a wholesale business, or a combination of both. A retail company sells products to the end customer and usually in comparatively small quantities. A wholesale company caters to other businesses (including other trading companies) and typically sells products in bulk for further distribution, e.g. in retail stores.

These businesses usually 1) specialise in a certain range of products or services, which they purchase from suppliers or merchants; 2) broker the products or services (i.e. add value and commission to the transaction); and 3) coordinate the logistics of delivering these products/services to the purchasing company (i.e. arranging the delivery and providing their own or affiliated transportation services).
B2C (Business-to-Consumer) Trading Company
B2C refers to selling products or services to the end client, and so the final destination of the trading company’s goods is usually a shop.
Sale of goods to businesses and consumers

Matching goods in a retail chain
Furnishing of storage rooms and points of sale
Management of international commercial operations
Make logistical arrangements for the delivery of goods

Obviously, for a trading company as a legal entity, this is an additional opportunity and not an essential business function or function.
