for a job well done! By sheer luck we
were recomended by a friend, & on
that note put our trust in them. we were
amaized by the quality, & value for
money. I only gave Chris@2Brothershostings
a few surgestions of what our requirements
were, and he did so much more which has
made our website what it is today. Do
bare in mind we are a new company on a
budget, just imagine what they could do

minutes of your time to look threw our
website, & judge it for yourself.
We
were quoted by one company £11,000 for the website we wanted, I know it's
a big website, but I just about fell over.
But then WebGatorz gave me a quote of
just £1,040.
I don't have to tell you, who we went
with.
Many
thanks again for your cooperation and input,
keep up the good work. I feel you will do
well at this web site stuff. Because your
prices and quality are far better than anybody
else.
A trademark is a word or words,
name, symbol, label, device, or picture applied or
attached to a manufacturer’s or merchant’s product
to identify it and distinguish it from similar products
sold by others.
Its most common form is the brand name.
A trademark differs from both a copyright and a patent
in that, with a trademark, the protection is in the
symbol that distinguishes the product, not in the
product itself.
Thus, for example, a company could register a trademark
name for their specific brand of athletic shoe, and
could thereby prevent others from marketing shoes
under that same name, but this would not confer any
exclusive rights to the basic concept of a canvas
foot covering with a cushioned sole.
Moreover, the trademark does not have to be a name
but can simply be a symbol.
Thus, the name “Nike” is a trademarked name that distinguishes
this certain brand of shoe from all others and, similarly,
the “swoosh” symbol, which is nothing more than an
elongated check sign, is also a trademark that serves
the same purpose.
The critical point for supporting a trademark is that
the mark actually be used in commerce.
The key determinant is that the name, symbol or other
identification mark indicates the source or origin
of the goods so identified and distinguishes them
from the goods of others.
However, if the goods are not actually marketed, it
is difficult to support the distinction claim and
thus trademark protection may not be allowed.
Where trademarks are granted, there is no time limit
on the protection.
A trademark does not prevent a competitor from making
and selling the same product.
It simply limits the form of identification that can
be used. As such, trademarks do not restrain trade
and there is therefore no functional reason to limit
their life.
A service mark is similar to a trademark with the
difference being that it covers a service rather than
a tangible product.
For example, a service mark might be used to protect
the name of an insurance company or an accounting
firm.
Services can also use symbols; words labels etc. to
identify themselves and such forms of identification
can be covered by a service mark.
You can
trademark names by using them to refer to your brand
/ type of product or service. Like "Virgin"
megastores.
Trademarks are used to identify goods, that is, physical
commodities, which may be natural or manufactured
or produced, and which are sold or otherwise transported
or distributed.
The
Trademark Act defines "trademark" as follows:
• The
term "trademark" includes any word, name,
symbol, or device, or any combination thereof—
• used
by a person, or
• which
a person has a bona fide intention to use in commerce
and applies to register on the principal register
established by this Act, to identify and distinguish
his or her goods, including a unique product, from
those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate
the source of the goods, even if that source is unknown.
