In today’s competitive market, your brand is more than just a name—it’s your identity. At VE Legal, we help clients protect their brands through trademark registration and enforcement.
What is trademark?
A trademark is any sign or symbol capable of distinguishing your goods or services from those of others. In Ghana, this may include words, personal names, designs, letters, colours, numerals, shapes, holograms, sounds or a combination of any of these elements, and slogans (not long enough to be protected by copyright).
Why register your trademark in Ghana?
While unregistered trademarks may enjoy some protection under Ghanaian common law, registration of your trademark grants you:
- Exclusive rights to use the mark.
- Legal standing to take action against infringers or counterfeiters.
- A valuable asset for franchising, licensing, or business expansion.
