101 Session - Trademark & Branding


Trademark & Branding-101 Session of D'U Advanced Toastmasters Club Meeting 13 September 2007

It was indeed a night to be remembered! We were fortunate to have a very Distinguished Guest Ms Cheryl Leong, whom to us is the Branding & Trademark Guru, to share an interesting and informative talk on Trademarks & Branding.

Topics involved:

What is branding? What is Trademark?

How and when to protect A brand?

When to launch a brand and do a Trade mark Search to avoid legal Implications later?

Scopes of TM protection. Examples of trademarks:

  • Words - McDonald's, BMW..


  • Shapes - Coca Coca Bottle, NIKE


  • Sounds - Intel


  • Colour - Google

At the end of the session, our President Lee Wei Seong, ACG CL presented a lovely bouquet to Ms Cheryl Leong. We are glad to have you, Ms Cheryl as our Distinguished Speaker. Thank You for sharing!
