Understanding the protection
A trade mark is a sign that distinguishes the goods and services of one trader from another. It may be a word, logo, picture or a combination.
To be registrable, it must be distinctive for the goods or services covered and must not conflict with the applicable registration requirements or an earlier mark.
Why registration matters
Registering a UK trade mark makes your rights clearer and can help deter others from misusing your brand.
Make it clear that your name or logo is protected for the registered goods and services.
A registration can make it easier to act when another party uses your mark without permission.
The registration provides a clearer public record of the protection you hold.
A registered trade mark can be sold, franchised or licensed to another party.
