Community Trade Mark

Okay, imagine you have a really cool toy that no one else has! You love your toy and you want to protect it so that no one else can take it from you or use it without your permission, right? That's kind of what a community trade mark is.

But instead of a toy, it's something like a logo, a brand name, or a slogan that a company or business uses to show that their products or services come from them. When a company gets a community trade mark, it means that no one else can use their logo or brand name without their permission.

It's like having a special superpower that only one company can have. And if someone else tries to use that same superpower, they would be breaking the rules and could get in big trouble! So, having a community trade mark helps businesses protect their identity and make sure people know where their products and services come from.
