A trademark has to
have one basic feature that is it should be unique and create a brand identity
for a product. So if a trademark is such that does not create any brand for a product can't
be trademarked. A trademark should not be a conflicting trademarks with others.
It means the trademarks should not create confusion between two
trademarks.
In general:
