Droit des marques

Droit des marques, or trademark law, protects brand names, logos, and symbols that distinguish goods and services. It ensures that consumers can identify the source of products and helps businesses maintain their reputation by preventing others from using similar marks that could confuse customers. Trademark protection is granted through registration, allowing the owner exclusive rights to use the mark within specific categories. If someone infringes on these rights, the trademark owner can take legal action to stop the infringement and seek damages. This area of law plays a vital role in promoting fair competition in the marketplace.
