Solution
For comprehensive legal protection, both the brand name (verbal element) and brand mark (visual element) should be registered as trademarks. This dual registration protects all key components of the brand identity. Since a brand can consist of a combination of names, terms, signs, and symbols, registering both elements ensures that competitors cannot copy either the spoken name or the visual representation. This comprehensive approach provides maximum legal safeguard for the entire brand identity.
