You walk into a store. Among 100 red cans, one stands out instantly — the curvy white font on a bright red background: Coca-Cola.
Now think about Google. You don’t “search online,” you Google something. Their brand has become a verb in daily life.
But none of this happened by chance.
Their trademarks.
In this post, let’s explore how trademark registration turned these names into legends — and how you can do the same for your business, no matter how small you're starting.
Back in 1886, Coca-Cola was just a caramel-colored syrup sold at a local pharmacy in Atlanta. The name, the script-style logo, even the bottle shape — all of it was unique.
But what if someone else had started bottling a drink under a similar name like “Koka-Kola”?
Without a trademark, anyone could have hijacked the brand.
But the Coca-Cola Company did something incredibly smart early on:
They registered every aspect of their brand — the name, the logo, even the bottle shape — as trademarks.
Over time, this gave them:
Exclusive rights to every visual and verbal part of the brand
Legal power to shut down counterfeiters worldwide
Consistent identity in over 200 countries
Today, Coca-Cola is one of the most recognized brands on the planet, and its trademark portfolio is worth billions.
What started as a $0.05 drink became a multi-billion-dollar empire, thanks in part to early brand protection.
Let’s jump to 1998 — a garage in California, two computer science students, and a search engine called BackRub (yes, really).
They renamed it Google and registered the domain.
But then they did something even smarter:
They filed for trademark registration on the name “Google”.
Fast-forward to today:
Google is one of the most valuable trademarks in the world
It's legally protected in 100+ countries
Even the color pattern of the logo is trademarked
Now, imagine if they hadn’t filed for protection.
Another company could have:
Launched “G00gle” or “Googel”
Used the name for shady tech products
Ruined the brand’s trust overnight
But because they owned the trademark, Google has been able to control its identity globally, defend against fraud, and become a household name.
Whether you're selling soda, running a tech startup, or launching a local clothing line, here's the reality:
Just like Coca-Cola and Google, you need to claim your brand legally before someone else does.
Building a brand on Instagram
Starting a YouTube channel
Launching a product or course
Registering a new business name
You’ve worked hard to come up with your business name, design your logo, and build your presence.
Why leave it vulnerable?
Coca-Cola and Google started small — just like you.
What set them apart wasn’t just the product, it was how seriously they took their identity.

Simple (no legal jargon)
Fast (application in 1–2 days)

You don't need to be Google or Coca-Cola to protect your identity.
But if you want to become one someday —
It starts with this one smart step: register your trademark.
