Trademark protection can last indefinitely as long as you keep using it and renew it. It’s like keeping a garden – if you tend to it, it will continue to bloom!
Descriptive trademarks can be tricky. They may get protection if they gain distinctiveness over time, like a hidden gem that people eventually discover and cherish.
Distinctiveness is key because it helps consumers recognize and trust a brand. If it doesn’t stand out, it’s like a needle in a haystack – good luck finding it!
Inherently distinctive trademarks are those that are unique and easy to identify. If it stands out like a diamond in the rough, it’s likely inherently distinctive!
A suggestive trademark hints at a product's nature without directly describing it. It's like a hint of spice in your favorite dish - it gives you an idea of what's to come!
Sure! An arbitrary trademark uses a common word in a way that doesn't connect to its usual meaning. For example, 'Apple' for computers is quite a twist, isn't it?
A fanciful trademark is a made-up word that has no meaning before it's used as a brand. Think of it as a new name that stands out like a sore thumb, such as 'Kleenex' for tissues.
