A trademark registration confers on its owner a right of ownership over the trademark for the goods/services it has designated. Registering your trademark allows you to protect your product against a risk of confusion with any similar product from your competitors.

The owner of the registered trademark has an exclusive right for the product sold, he has the right to oppose the use of the sign by others, especially if there is a risk of confusion in the mind of the public.
