🛡️ Besides gaining protection through patenting, an inventor or business owner may choose to register a trademark or logo for his or her product for protecting the reputation of associated formulations which the business owner has built over time.

🖊 Once registered, the trademark gives the inventor or business owner legal rights to use a name or logo to distinguish his or her proprietary ingredient(s) from others. IP assets are critical for licensing manufacturers and distributors also, as IP licensing enables inventors or business owners to exercise control over entities wishing to manufacture and commercialise their products.
