A registered trademark gives the owner a statutory monopoly for the exclusive right to use the mark in relation to the goods or services for which the mark is registered. A registered trademark becomes your property just like land or chattel, which you can sell, licence, franchise or even use as a security interest in accordance with new Trademarks Act 2019. Trademark owners are also given the right to take legal action for infringement under the Trademarks Act 2019 against third parties utilising their trademarks without consent.
