A registered trade mark confers the right to the exclusive use of the mark in connection with the goods or services for which it is registered.  It gives the owner the right to sue for trade mark infringement if another party uses an identical or similar mark in the course of trade without permission.    

Registered trade marks can also be used in domain name dispute proceedings when the mark is included in a domain name without the brand-owner’s permission.
