Trademarks

A trademark can be any sign capable of being represented graphically, where such signs are capable of distinguishing the goods of one manufacturer from those of another.

A trademark can therefore be, in particular, a word, a figure, an ornament, a color composition, a spatial form, including a form of the goods or their packaging, as well as a melody or another acoustic signal.
