6. A short history of brands The word brand comes from the Old Norse brandr, meaning to burn, It was of course by burning that early man stamped ownership on his livestock, and with the development of trade buyers would use brands as a means of distinguishing between the cattle of one farmer and another. A farmer with a particularly good reputation for the quality of his animals would find his brand much sought after, while the brands of farmers with a lesser reputation were to be avoided or treated with caution. Thus the utility of brands as a guide to choice was established, a role that has remained unchanged to the present day.

7. BRAND It is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and differentiate them from those of the competition.
