Although registering a trademark or servicemark is not compulsory, there are
many distinct advantages of registering a trademark or servicemark:
The trademark or servicemark is a legal presumption of your ownership of
the mark and your exclusive right to use the mark in the country where it is
registered and thus protected
By registering your mark, you officially notify the public of your claim of
ownership of the servicemark or trademark which represents your service or
product
Registering your trademark or servicemark in your own country sanctions
and allows you to apply for legal protection in other countries as well
You have the right to take legal action concerning the trademark or
servicemark since your trademark or servicemark is legally protected
