A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. A service mark is a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than goods.
Definition: Any symbol, word or combination thereof used to represent or identify a product. A service mark means the same thing, but identifies a service. On the other hand, "Ford" is that company's logo and trademark. A trademark is a corporate symbol that contributes to the image the company is trying to build.
To register a trademark, go to the Department of Patents, Designs & Trademarks (DPDT) Office's Web site http://www.dpdt.gov.bd/
You may be able to obtain state trademark registration for Tk. 3500 + 15% VAT. Bangladesh trademark registration extends your protection nationwide and offers other important advantages.
