Grounds for Cancellation of Trademark
A distinctive sign, word, symbol, design, logo, phrase, shape, or combination of these components separates a company’s goods or services from those of others by use of a trademark. An indication of origin assures consumers that the product or service has a certain standard of quality from a certain source. Legally protected under trademark law, a trademark is a type of intellectual property that provides the owner sole-channel rights to use it in connection with registered goods or services.
