. A trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements.

The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark

TRADE SECRETS
A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable, by which a business can obtain an economic advantage over competitors or customers Examples of well known trade secrets include the formula for Coca-cola and Colonel Sanders recipe for fried chicken. But a secret doesn't have to be famous to be a trade secret - many valuable trade secrets remain secret because the general public is not aware that the information exists.
