Trademark is a Brand name. It can either be any name, symbol, logo, device and slogan which is primarily used to both identify and distinguish the goods or services of one person from that of the other. Eg.

Trademarks are of several kinds like Product marks, Service marks, Collective marks, Certification marks, etc. The purpose of a Trademark is the same irrespective of its kind.
