Trade marks/Trade names/Logos

A trade mark provides a way of distinguishing the origin of goods/services. A trade name may be the name under which a company or person conducts business. A logo is a device, shape or design which may, or may not include a word. It provides a distinctive badge of origin for goods and/or services.

In the UK, if the mark, name or logo has accumulated goodwill and a reputation through its use then it is protected to a certain extent from copying by common law. However, it is even more strongly protected if it is registered. Once registered, the symbol may be used in conjunction with it.

Registered Trade Marks are also available for the EU as a whole, as well as in all other countries of the world. We can handle these for you.
