In legal terms, a “mark” typically refers to a symbol, name, logo, or other identifying feature used to distinguish the goods or services of one party from those of others. Marks can be registered with intellectual property offices to obtain exclusive rights to use them in commerce. Trademarks, service marks, and trade names are all types of marks that can be protected under intellectual property law. Unauthorised use of a registered mark may constitute trademark infringement, which can lead to legal action, including injunctions and damages. Marks are essential assets for businesses as they help consumers identify and differentiate products and services in the marketplace.
