  • What Is Brand
    WHAT IS BRAND ANS. A brand is a product, service, or concept that is publicly distinguished from other products, services, or concepts so that it can be easily communicated and usually marketed. A brand name is the name of the distinctive product, service, or concept. Branding is the process of creating and disseminating the brand name. Branding can be applied to the entire corporate identity as well as to individual product and service names. Brands are usually protected from use by others by securing a trademark or service mark from an authorized agency, usually a government agency. Before applying for a trademark or service mark, you need to establish that someone else hasn't already obtained one for your name. Although you can do the searching yourself, it is common to hire a law firm that specializes in doing trademark searches and managing the application process, which, in the United States, takes about a year. Once you've learned that no one else is using it, you can begin to use your brand name as a trademark simply by stating it is a trademark (using the " TM " where it first appears in a publication or Web site). After you receive the trademark, you can use the registered (?) symbol after your trademark. Brands are often expressed in the form of logos , graphic representations of the brand. In computers, a recent example of widespread brand application was the "Intel Inside" label provided to manufacturers that use Intel's microchips. A company's brands and the public's awareness of them is often used as a factor in evaluating a company.

    19 mai 2010 L’actu du jour Coupe du monde 2010 : les 24 Bleus sélectionnés Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena sont sur la liste des 24 Bleus sélectionnés pour la Coupe du monde 2010, qui se tiendra du 11 juin au 11 juillet en Afrique du Sud. Ces trois joueurs ont créé la surprise, car ils n’ont jamais encore porté le maillot bleu de l’équipe de France ! Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena.(©AFPPHOTO/NICOLAS TUCAT/PIERRE ANDRIEU/GERARD JULIEN) D’où vient le mot « football » ? Le mot « football » vient de l’anglais « foot » qui signifie « pied » et « ball » qui signifie « ballon ». Ce nom a été repris dans la plupart des pays du monde, à quelques exceptions près. Par exemple, les Italiens parlent de calcio, qui désigne un « coup de pied », et les Américains jouent au soccer. Le football est le sport le plus pratiqué dans le monde. Que dit l’actu ? Le suspense est terminé ! Enfin presque… À moins d’un mois du début de la Coupe du monde, la liste des 24 joueurs français sélectionnés a été révélée ce lundi. Grosse déception, donc, pour les 6 joueurs, qui figuraient sur la liste des 30 noms retenus, la semaine dernière, et qui se voyaient déjà sur les pelouses d’Afrique du Sud. Parmi eux, Hatem Ben Arfa, Adil Rami ou encore Mickaël Landreau. La liste finale ne devait comporter que 23 noms mais, suite à la blessure au mollet de William Gallas, le sélectionneur Raymond Domenech a choisi de conserver un bonus, en attendant de connaître l’état physique du défenseur.
