Trademark registration is a prerequisite and condition for a trademark user to obtain exclusive trademark rights. Only trademarks that have been approved for registration are protected by law. The principles of trademark registration are the fundamental guidelines for determining exclusive trademark rights. The choice of different registration principles reflects the balance between legal certainty and legal fairness made by legislators in various countries. A trademark is essentially a brand for goods; it is a mark used by producers and operators of goods to distinguish their products from those of other producers or operators. This mark typically consists of a combination of words, graphics, English letters, and numbers. Trademarks protect trademark registrants by ensuring they have the exclusive right to use their trademarks to identify goods or services, or to license their use to others for remuneration.
