	More Info On Trademarks - tradmark, trademark protection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A trademark (or, as referred to in Commonwealth countries, a "trade mark") is a distinctive name, phrase, symbol, design, picture, or style used by a business to identify itself to consumers.
		Another underlying purpose of trademark law is protecting the owner's investment in the quality of the goods or services sold under the mark known as dilution.
		Trademarks are not granted for one-off fixed terms (unlike a patent for example); they are valid as long as they are actively in use (and usually require a renewal fee to be paid to the registry every few years).

		The new law prohibits the registration or use of a mark identical or similar to a prior mark with a reputation although covering different goods and/or services, provided that the new mark seeks takes advantage of or is detrimental to the distinctive character or the repute of the prior mark.
		Among the changes are the broadening of the definition of a trademark to permit registration of color, sound and 3-D marks, the possibility of filing multi-class applications, the abolition of defensive and associated trademark registrations, elimination of the requirement of proof of use on renewal, and the introduction of a consent practice for non-identical marks.
		Because the Canadian and U. trademarks are derived from English common law and since both countries have INDEPENDENTLY developed use-based trademark systems consisting of a blend of common law, state law and federal statutory rights, one would expect for the federal trademark registration systems in the U.S. and Canada to be similar.
