TRADEMARK

What’s the real difference between a Coke® and a Pepsi®? They’re both carbonated cola soft drinks of the same color and taste somewhat similar. Why does someone choose one over the other?

 

The real difference is how they’re portrayed and presented — how they’re branded — to consumers, and how the consumer connects and associates with the brand.

 

In marketing and sales of products or services, branding is everything. And protecting brands is essential to successfully grow and monetize a brand.
