The name is the brand element that most often tells the market about values and personality, culture and functionality. A good name is therefore an important, strategic tool for the company. Countless variations of names are already registered as trademarks and domains. This places extra demands on creativity and legal insight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

There is a continuous battle for the unique and distinctive, for taking a position. In such a context, a name should ideally represent a value for the business, and not a handicap. Names must never be chosen randomly, but anchored in fundamental principles of brand building. In addition, the name must be adapted to complicated rules for registration and protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A trademark can consist of all sorts of signs that distinguish a company's goods or services from those of other companies. This can be rendered graphically, for example words (word mark), word combinations or slogans, names, figures (figurative mark), letters, numbers, and the shape of the goods, equipment and packaging. A brand is a trademark with a position or history that arouses emotional values in the consumer's mind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is expected of a name?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A name is often built around a set of emotional values; the core values you have chosen for the company, product, or concept. The name should be unique and exciting relative to the competitor's, and make it possible to build a new and powerful name or brand through strategic market communication.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The core values are the brand's emotional characteristics and personality traits that best describe the brand and that the company or product should be associated with. The rational values describe the brand's rational content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The name should not only sound good but also look good. Spindly letters can appear messy, equally tall letters like 'o's and 'e's work well together. Here, it may be safe to get a designer's input.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This means that the name must possess the distinctiveness required to meet the trademark law's requirements for registration as a word mark.
