Indeed!!
When you own certain intellectual property such as a trademark, then you must have proof of ownership. It is not enough to tell people that the company that makes that nice juice is yours.
You must show proof of that ownership.
For example, if you owned land, you would have a ‘kyapa’ (certificate of title) for that land. Similarly, now that you own the trademark for that juice called ‘kawomela’ (delicious) you will need a ‘kyapa’ for that name and juice.
This ‘kyapa’ is called Certificate of registration. Once you have this, that trademark (symbol, phrase) that customers use to identify your product truly belongs to you.
However, remember this ownership must be renewed after seven (7) years and every 10 years after that to retain ownership of that trademark.
