Trademark A word, phrase, or design that identifies a product or service and is registered so other’s can’t use it. Bob wanted to call his new fizzy drink Coke, but the Coca-Cola Company owns the trademark for that word. (A trademark is different than a patent, which is for technical inventions, or a copyright, which is for artistic and literary works, such as novels, music, movies, computer code, and so on.)
