	Trademark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proprietary rights in relation to a trademark may be established through actual use in the marketplace, or through registration of the mark with the trade marks office (or "trademarks registry") of a particular jurisdiction.
		The proper use of a trademark means using the mark as an adjective, not as a noun or a verb [3] [4] [5], though for certain trademarks, use as nouns and, less commonly, verbs is common.
		A trademark owner also uses trademark law to prevent unauthorised third party use of a mark which is identical to the owner’s mark, or which is so similar that use of the other party’s mark would result in a likelihood of confusion.
