What is Logo Registration?

Business Registration

Logo registration is a legal process that protects your logo as your own brand identity. It proves that the logo belongs to you and no one else can copy, use, or claim it. Once registered, your logo becomes a legal trademark, and you get full rights to use it for your business, products, and marketing.

  • Gives official ownership of the logo
  • Protects design, style, and brand identity
  • Helps build brand trust and value

Why Logo Registration Is Important?

Logo registration is important because it protects your brand from misuse or copying. If someone tries to use a similar logo, you can take legal action. It also builds customer trust and makes your brand look professional in the market.

 Benefits:

  • Stops others from copying your brand logo
  • Gives strong legal protection
  • Helps in brand recognition and reputation
  • Useful in business expansion and franchising
  • Supports trademark and IP rights
