Trade-marks do not give exclusive rights to a symbol, for instance, but only for the symbol in relation to a particular use in order to distinguish the product from others. Trade-marks help potential customers to identify the source of products and thus have a significant impact on trade, especially when product identity is marketed as an extension of the customers' personal identity. Although any name or symbol could be protected under trade-mark law, there are issues concerning the limits of that protection. Trade-marks - Canadian Intellectual Property Office.

It is a pattern of threats and actions that can frighten you and take away your feeling of self-worth and shatter your sense of security and personal safety. Stalking or criminal harassment can even lead to physical harm. If you are being threatened, followed, watched, called repeatedly, sent things that are unwanted, or if your property or pets have been harmed, you may be a victim of criminal harassment. Stalking or criminal harassment can be perpetuated by anyone (for example, a spouse or partner, a person you lived with, someone you dated, a client, a former employee, a co-worker, a fellow student, a peer, or a total stranger).
Although women are often the subject of criminal harassment, children, adolescents and men can also be victims. The harassment may start with conduct that seems more annoying than dangerous.
