A trademark is a special name, symbol, or other mark used to show who made a product. By law, only the company that makes the product may use its trademark. For example, the name "Jell-O" is a trademark. Only the company that makes the dessert product that they call "Jell-O" can use that name. If another company made and sold a similar product and called it "Jell-O," they would be breaking the law.
