Which Trademarks Cannot Be Registered?

– Common words that describe the product, like “Coffee” for a coffee brand, cannot be registered. Terms that merely describe a feature, function, or quality of the product, such as “Fast Cars” for a car company.
– Trademarks that mislead consumers about the product’s nature or origin, like “Organic” for a non-organic product.
– If a trademark is too similar to an existing one, it can confuse consumers and will be rejected.
– Certain symbols, like national flags or official insignia, cannot be registered as trademarks.
Example: Apple Inc. cannot trademark the word “Apple” for fruit, as it is a generic term for the product.
