The term “trademark notice” can refer to multiple legal tools—here are the common ones you might encounter:
Trademark Marking Symbols (TM / ®):
™ is used to claim trademark rights, whether registered or not.
® is used only once the trademark is officially registered. These symbols help put others on notice and can strengthen infringement cases.
International Trademark Association
Notice of Publication:
A formal communication indicating your application was published in the official trademark journal, opening a 30-day window for third-party opposition. It’s a critical step toward final registration.
Caution Notice:
An optional but effective tactic in India—publishing a warning in relevant media that your mark is registered. Courts accept this as evidence, and it prevents infringers from claiming ignorance.
Cease & Desist Notice:
A legal demand sent to someone infringing your mark, instructing them to stop unauthorized use, often used before escalating to litigation.
