Skills you'll learn
Trademark law is a fascinating and complex area of law. It is an area of law that deals with the protection of symbols, words, designs, or other unique indicators that are used to identify and distinguish a product or service from other products or services. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of trademark protection, including the registration process, protection and enforcement of rights.
The course will begin with a discussion of what trademarks are and the purpose of trademark law. It will then move on to cover the different types of trademarks and the differences between them. The course will cover the registration process in detail, including the filing of application, the examination process and the grant of trademark. The course will then discuss the protection of trademarks, including the remedies available to those who have been infringed upon. By the end of the course, learners should have a strong understanding of trademark law.
Every trademark you build adds to the financial value of your business, much more than your tangible assets.
