Trademarks protect trademark registrants by ensuring that they have the exclusive right to identify the source of goods or services, or to license others to use them for remuneration. Broadly speaking, trademarks promote a positive and enterprising spirit around the world by rewarding their registrants with recognition and economic benefits. Trademark protection also prevents unscrupulous competitors, such as counterfeiters, from using similar distinctive marks to promote inferior or different products or services.

If a trademark contains a geographical indication of a commodity, but the trademark does not originate from the area indicated by the mark, and it misleads the public, it shall not be registered and its use shall be prohibited; except where the place name has other meanings or is part of a collective trademark or a certification mark; if it has been registered The trademark using the place name will continue to be valid. 4.
