Trademark rights are the legal protections granted to owners of distinctive brand identifiers—names, logos, slogans, or other marks that distinguish goods or services in commerce.

These rights prevent others from using confusingly similar marks and arise either through registration or simply through use in the marketplace.

The company's trademark rights allowed it to sue the knockoff manufacturer.
