Trademark Registration Services
(Trademark Registration Service)
A trademark is a distinctive sign identifying goods, services, or the person or business associated with them. It represents the company and its brand and is an intangible business asset. Using a registered trademark without permission in manufacturing, sales, imports or exports constitutes infringement.
Trademark registration is a form of brand protection valued by businesses worldwide. Since trademark laws differ between jurisdictions, protection should be arranged in the places where goods are produced, sold and where the business develops, using the classes relevant to its activities. M & N Business provides trademark registration agency services in Mainland China and internationally, assisting clients throughout the process.
