Trade Mark & Patent Registration
A Trade or Service Mark is a distinguishing sign such as a name, logo, signature, or design used to differentiate goods or services from different manufacturers or service providers.
Trade and service marks not only help businesses market their products or services but also assist consumers in identifying and choosing products based on the quality and reputation associated with the mark. Tan Biz Link can guide you through the trademark registration process in Tanzania.
