A registered trademark determines the graphic, physical and operational identity of a company a, product or a service. It includes its own visual elements that differentiate it from its competitors, giving it a certain identity in the commercial sector.

The sign of a brand can be a word, a combination of words, an image, a design, three-dimensional shapes, sounds and in some countries, smells, textures and any other that meets the requirements of distinctiveness and the possibility of being represented.

A registered trademark is an identity protected by the corresponding laws that can be used exclusively.
