What is a trade mark?
Legally, a trade mark is a protected sign that distinguishes a company's products or services from those of other companies. All graphical representations of a sign can, in principle, be a trade mark within the meaning of the law, for example words, combinations of letters, numbers, graphic images, three-dimensional forms, slogans, combinations of these elements, or even sound trade marks, which are made up of a sequence of notes.
