What is a trademark in Israel?
In Israel, a trademark can be a word, symbol, digit, image, or combination used to identify goods or services. Registration grants the owner exclusive rights and helps prevent consumer confusion about a product’s origin.
Since joining the Madrid Protocol in 2010, Israel allows easier international trademark expansion. A registered trademark protects against unauthorized use or imitation.
