The US trademark website says that trademarks are "...used to identify and distinguish the goods/services of one seller or provider from those of others, and to indicate the source of the goods/services."
The trademark is supposed to prevent confusion in the marketplace. Exclusive trademarks allow the consumer to know what company provided the product. If you want to buy a Coca-Cola, you don't end up with Koca-Kola. If there is a problem with the product, you know who to blame.
