Question

Hillward Bakers have been using since their inception ten years ago, a blue HB logo with a baker's hat on the HB. Hobert Bakers, a newly opened bakery and confectionary chain, has used the same logo. Hillward has not registered its logo, but chooses to sue Hobert. Which of the following is true of this case?

A. Trademark
B. Patent
C. Copywrite
D. Tradesecret
E. Collective mark

Answer 1

A. Trademark

Step-by-step explanation:

Trademark represents a phrase, a symbol, a picture or anything like that for a specific product, which if registered, states the uniqueness of the product from similar products.

Here, in the given case Hillward Bakers did not register the trademark, which is now used by Hobert Bakers.

Accordingly Hillward Bakers cannot proceed in any legal action as against the logo used by Hobert Bakers, which was designed and used by Hillward Bakers.
