In the globalised business era and competitive business environment, Goodwill of a Company is reflected by the popularity of the trademarks owned by it. Trademarks & Service marks are intangible property of the Company. Like any other property.  Trademarks, Service marks are also subject to risk of Theft, Trespass and Nuisance .So one has to be vigilant against these threats to avoid reputation, goodwill & monetary loss to Company business. Once a trademark application is filed, you are on your way to securing the exclusive use of your mark for your services or goods.

There are good number of instances where a reputed Company has lost its worth due to Trademark litigation e.g. Malikchand v Manikchand (Gutka case). Infosys Technologies may be a premier software company in the world, as far as IT services are concerned, but it could not hold a monopoly on trademark ‘Infosys’. A Kolkata-based Jupiter Infosys Ltd was using this name to sell computers, computer accessories and other items of hardware. Since Infosys was only registered as a service mark and not as a mark for goods, the Intellectual Property Appellate Board held that this was not a trademark infringement.
