A trademark is a brand name, a slogan, or a logo. It is used to identify the products or services of a business, making them distiguishable from those of another.
  Trademark examples: Coca Cola; Sunlight; Accountkeeper; Skip; LiquiFruit; Pringles; Once you pop you can't stop!; the MacDonalds "M"; the KFC Colonel Sanders logo; the Accountkeeper logo.
  The first step in registering a trademark in South Africa is to request a search of the trade mark registers for any similar trademarks already in use. The result may reveal no similarities or conflicts, in which case you are free to go on to the second step of applying to register the trademark. If there is a conflict or potential conflict, the trademarks concerned will be identified - you can then adjust your trademark and re-search or seek permission for use.
