BRANDS – “ Same Name But
Different Meaning ”
Introduction :
Owning a brand name is critical for business, but
what many people don’t realize is that owning
a trademark on your brand name is not the
same as owning a unique name.
When the two companies own similar brand
name that is called ‘Brand Twins’
It is not necessary to have a similar category
product, they can be differentiated by type,
nature, class & category.
Brands & Their Trademark
Trademark is a recognizable sign, design or expression
which identifies products or services of a particular source
from those of others. But there can be almost a
thousand trademarks on a similar name.
For Example : ‘DELTA’ - from airlines to kitchen wear
to power tools.
So You cannot own a word exclusively and universally,
as per international agreements,
and the complexities in minds of consumer arises .

Recognition.
What Happens To The Companies Or
Brand ..

consumer base directly or indirectly.
• Companies can face difficulties in
positioning of their products as similar
name with different category.
• Directly or indirectly reduces the
identification of any one brand.
• There will never be the win-win situation
for all the similar brand names of different
company.
Questions! What Comes In Our Mind ??
• Does It favourable for the company which is
already successful ?
• Don’t you think that wrong management
practice of one brand can affects the another,
just because of same name ?
• Will it be easier for the loosing company to gain
its market share again ?
• Can’t the big companies like Amul, Finlandia to
do something with the patents or copyrights?
