Abstract

Any sign which is „capable of distinguishing“ the products or services of one business from the products or services of another business is capable of constituting a trademark. As the essential function of a trademark is to exclusively identify the commercial origin of products or services, any sign which fulfils this purpose may be registrable as a trademark. The symbol (™) is a symbol to indicate that the preceding mark is a trademark. It is usually used for unregistered trademarks, as opposed to the registered trademark symbol (®) which is reserved for trademarks registered with the appropriate government agency. Trademarks and the rights they grant are seen as one of the most important issues in the strategic mangement of the business organizations. Under this general framework, it is important for us to understand the role of mark in the marketing of product/service the level of importance of the trademarks and their rights management, in business organizations in Albania. So, the purpose of this research is to investigate the role of mark in the marketing of product/servicein business organizations in Albania, as well as to find out if a relationship between role of mark in the marketing of product/service and other specified managerial issues, is present in such organizations. The research is based on the testing of the main Hypothesis, expressed as: H0. Trademark does not play an important role in the marketing of product/service in the business organizations in Albania; and on the testing of six other Sub-Hypotheses, trying to find out if a relationship between the role of mark in the marketing of product/service and the other specified variables, is present in such organizations. The research is based on primary and secondary data collection. Some conclusions are also specified at the end of this paper.
