Functional In Fortifying Your Business
Trademark and ISO
Every business requires some registrations and certifications to make their products and services look authentic and stand out from the rest of the competitors. They are also required to accredit themselves under common standards that vouch for their quality, safety standards or processes undertaken. Among them all the two most essential factors in such unique registrations are the Trademark and the ISO certification.
What is a Trademark?
A Trademark symbolises a mark in trade and refers to a “Symbolism” that has the capacity to be represented graphically, and has the capacity to help the goods and services provided by one entity to be told apart from those of the others. A trademark can include the icon of the goods sold, packaging, or a combination of symbols with colors. Essentially a trademark can be that identifies a brand name to their customers. A “Mark” consists of a device, brand, label, heading, ticket, signature, name, word, numeral, letter, the shape of products, packaging, or a combination of colors or any combination of the aforementioned. Every organization has to register its Trademark under one or several of the 45 classes of goods and services available. A Trademark has several formalities such as:
- Registration
- Objection Rebuttal
- Renewal
- Assignment
- Sale
What is an ISO Certification?
Quality products and services are the foundation of trust and standards since the day trade began among customers as they are loyal to a brand once they find the quality of your goods and services suitable as per their expectations. However, word of mouth or your personal claims is not enough to vouch for your brand’s quality. Hence there are national and international assessment bodies to gauge the quality of your products and services. One of them is the ISO, which stands for the International Organization for Standardization. It is a regulatory body that ensures the quality management system of an organization. You can boost your brand’s reputation by acquiring an ISO certification of several grades to instill in customers the belief that you have adhered to all the standards and practices accepted internationally to deliver quality products.
An ISO certificate in India can be received from one of the 162 ISO certification bodies operating in India to adhere to the quality standards of the respective organization. An ISO Certification acts like the seal of trust that customers can rely on without a doubt.
There are different types and requirements of ISO certifications depending on the kind of business that your organization is conducting.
Since both Trademark and ISO certification are essential steps to be covered once your company, LLP, OPC, Partnership or enterprise has been registered, it is best to get the paperwork done as soon as you can commence business. This will help you stop competitors from picking up your product or service’s ideas while you can enjoy a unique identity as well as have the credentials of your quality being approved.
