What is the scope of trade mark protection?
Registration of a trade mark ensures protection in relation to the business of an enterprise. The scope of protection is quite broad as it does not only apply to identical but also similar trademarks.
Renowned trademarks are granted additional privileges in many countries. In such cases, protection is extended over other classes than the one in which the trade mark was originally registered. This is because it is assumed that another entrepreneur could profit considerably from the reputation of a well-known trade mark.
