Trademark is a legal protection that secures the identity of a brand, product, or service by distinguishing it from competitors. Registering a trademark ensures exclusive rights to use logos, names, or symbols, preventing misuse and safeguarding brand reputation. For vendors and businesses on GeM, trademark registration strengthens credibility, builds trust with government buyers, and supports long-term brand recognition in public procurement. It is an essential step for companies aiming to protect their intellectual property while expanding their market presence.
