Best Answer

A trademark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to identify that the goods or services with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source of origin. products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.

A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements.

There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories.
