You might wonder who might want to locate a trade mark office, or what use one might be. Well, should you be holding a brand new invention or looking to keep an image belonging to your company protected, you will need the help of a trade mark office. You may want to use the popularity of a certain athlete to promote your business, like an endorsement. You wouldn't want to find out that your hard work is credited to someone else who makes a cheaper version of your invention, or another company swoops in and steals a logo you have worked long hours on.

An image represents your company, many companies are known by their logos before the product. Should a company become successful, many people will stand in line for hours to claim their new or recently updated item. Famous logos sell and no one wants to find out that another store or company has made a similar version to the logo and begun selling products at lower prices, in hopes of cashing in on people who don't care about the quality. You will also be protecting your website images and store photos from those who might seek to use your pictures on their websites.

A trade mark office will ensure that any unauthorized use of your ideas or products will not go unpunished, no one can just take your ideas. You might also find yourself putting new suggestions out into a popular market and you will definitely want to be the first to put your name on a certain idea before someone else snatches it up.
Say you have the next groundbreaking new program in the works, you better get ahead of a trade mark office to ensure that anyone who might hear about your work won't try to replicate it, or a complete stranger can't beat you to success with a similar product.

In the end, a trade mark office is the best and first tool that anyone developing something new should use. You can be sure that your potential success is protected and your products won't be stolen and made cheaper in the future by someone hoping to ride the coattails of success with an inferior product.
