Summary
A trademark is an ancient concept. It is a symbol or word used to represent or distinguish one’s brand. Roman blacksmiths often inscribed their initials or symbols into the handles of swords to identify the weapon’s maker. Soldiers looked for these trademarks to differentiate among the quality of swords being sold. Thus, a trademark is a kind of property right. The user or holder of the mark owns an enforceable right to the goodwill built into it.
