Therefore, it is necessary to trademark the business name. An early trademark registration can protect you from the risk that you can only use your firm name for your products under restricted conditions, because another person already registered your firm name as a trademark. Trademark protection can also be used for a logo and is for all of Switzerland. If you want to protect the name or logo of your firm also abroad, you have to register a trademark in these countries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.startups.ch\/en\" target=\"_blank\">STARTUPS.CH<\/a> can help you out and trademark your business name.
