person of distinguishing the goods and services of one from other and may include the shape of products, their packaging and combination of colours. In simple words, Trademarks are visual representations which could be in the form of symbols, designs or words which help a person in recognising or distinguishing a particular brand or a company. According to section 2 (m), a mark may include a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of goods, packaging or combination of colours or any such combinations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color has-background has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/lawyerinc.net\/in\/trademark-registration\">Get Trademark Registration in 5 Days &#8211; Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Trademark\"><\/span>  Types Of Trademark <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Word Mark<\/strong>&#8211; This is the most common and simple kind of Mark.

For ex- Nestle is registered under the wordmark category.<\/li><li><strong>Device Mark<\/strong>&#8211; A logo or symbols either printed or painted figure or any unique design can be registered as Device Mark.&nbsp; For word marks that are also used as a logo, the Trademark needs to be registered both as a word mark and a device marks.

It basically shows &#8220;standard&#8221; of goods and services.
