Always trademark your brands if you've got the budget to do so. If you believe that your brand will be successful (which you should do), it gives you the power over your own brand. Don't let noone else have that power. People in this life can be wicked - I've heard people that have trademarked other peoples brands as they are blowing up and then make them buy it off them for a large sum. The cost of trademarking is pretty light when you think about that. Even if it's not that, you want the power over your brand. If someone decides they want to use your brand name without permission, you can actually charge them a fee to do so. This is something every brand should be thinking about when starting up, especially if you have a product or if you're developing some sort of brand.
I 100% agree. I’ve heard the same thing about people trademarking other peoples brands and it’s mad! Definitely protect what’s yours and believe in it
New Zim subscriber here, love your content 🥰... after watching this l think I’m gonna trademark my business name before l sign up on social media
I am soo glad my video was helpful. Thank you soo much for subscribing xxx
This is such helpful advice, thank you so much!
You're so welcome! x
Wish I found your video earlier. Very helpful, I submitted my application a little while back now. Currently waiting to be approved🤞🏼
I am sure all will be well! Good luck xxx
@@TadiiG thank you 🙂
Hi Tadii! Have you applied for any trademarks abroad? I've been looking into the Madrid Protocol cause apparently it protects your brand throughout over 100+ countries. Also that other class for probably bags? That's one I want for my brand
Thank you so much for your video, it was really helpful...
So glad it was helpful xx
Definitely recommend paying that extra for them to give that strong indication that it will be approved for people.
I love the trademarking topic 😁
One thing I dislike is how with Brexit our UK trademarks don't seem to have any EU protection.
I've trademarked a few marks and without a lawyer. Some will literally charge for them to do a search you can do for free.
I have no idea why I didn't but its definitely worth it!
@@TadiiG it doesn't look appealing but it saves alot of overthinking as the examiners should know what's right.
I actually did have a case where the examiner was rightfully overruled for his decision to reject my application by whoever was above him.
And to add to the point of if it's worth it people should look at supreme and their issue with not trademarking.
No matter how small you are you should protect what's yours. It's silly people dont see the importance early on but each to their own.
Thank you! very helpful
You’re welcome xx
I did the other day, it was easier than I thought
i am glad!
Well explained! insightful thanks
Glad it was helpful! xx
Girl thank you for this 💖 Would you be intrested in being featured on a podcast on your journey , trademark anything similar ?
Yeahh drop me an email! Xx
Thanks for this!!
You’re welcome xx
Hi Tadii, I've been binging on your videos today! For some reason they haven't been coming up on my YT feed for some time! Could you trademark if you are a sole trader or is this only for ltd companies? Thank you!x
Thank you for the tips! I’ve been wanting to do it but the application asked so many questions that made me think it might be best to register my business first. Would you agree that that’s probably the best thing to do ?
You are welcome.
I registered my business first, so my trademark is owned by my business. So it could be a good idea to do this
Hi- I’ve just come across your channel. It was very interesting this video. Aside from trademarking your name- how can you protect your design products and work. I’m about to graduate from uni, but don’t have a branding/logo solidified yet… however I have my products which will be exhibited to the public/ industry experts etc and online so do want to protect my work. Is there a way of doing this without having a logo/finalised branding?? Or would I have to trademark under my own name???
You can protect it here www.gov.uk/register-a-design I hope that helps. I protect my artwork this way xx
@@TadiiG thank you for this
Hey, can you add more classes in future?
Hello! Thank you or your video! Could you please advise, can I register a trademark in UK without legal assistance and remotely if i am from Kazakhstan and I live in Kazakhstan as well? Or can only UK citizens do it?
does the trademark only apply in the UK or worldwide?
if I do not want to add my personal address on my trademark registration can I add a virtual one instead, do you think this is wise?
If your business is registered I’m sure you can use that business address for your trademark! I’m not 100% sure so perhaps do a bit of research xx
Does trademarking hold the same value as "owning" or patenting the idea, as apparently mine is not patentable as its a way of doing business.
You don't trademark an invention/or process the same way you don't patent a logo, slogan, brand name etc. Trademarks protect logos, slogans and brand names, so it is different but still holds a lot of weight. I hope that helps xx
@@TadiiG it does help a little, but im trying to hold the rights to a online method of doing business, im not sure if that is patentable? If you understand what i mean x
@@TadiiG and if not do you know what the correct type of ownership would i need ue copyright/trademark/patent etc?
Subscribed !
yay!
Hello, I am wondering if I would be allowed to use my surname as my trademark? As you can see, my surname is a famous brand but I believe I should still be allowed to use it considering it is my name
lol yeah!
It’s like you read my mind - I’m doing this this week! 😊
So did you trademark the brand logo (pictorial) and brand name in the same application? And was all that £170 at the time?
I'm glad it came at the right time.
So I trademark my name and 2 logos but my logos are stylised text of my brand name if that makes sense. Yes I did it all in the same application.
I believe it was £170 or maybe £220 because of the additional class I added, I did try and find receipts but I couldnt find it. I know I didnt pay any extra logo and name wise if that makes sense.
I really hope this helps💕
@@TadiiG okay cool thank you 💓
Thankyou I've registered my brand name as a ltd co got the business account I just need to trademark my logo before I even think about putting it out their this has helped me out loads one step at a time eh I'm trying to get it right first time
Need to work on a branding strategy
It is quite a difficult one to work on for sure
🔥🔥🔥
😇
How long did your whole application process take, I registered mine in June and still waiting on a response?😅
Heyy I think it took a good 4 months! It was quite the wait and that was pre covid xx
I paid the 170 and got a letter to say that there are others similar to mine... I edited my name so it would not conflict but it wasn't enough... I think I chose the only viable class but it was the same as theirs... I'm going to seek legal advice to see if I can get help on this.
Ahhh that’s unfortunate, I hope all is sorted now? Xx
@@TadiiGI changed my the areas I was covering and submitted it, i've got to wait 2 months for any conflicts, fingers crossed I get it :) One other issue is that you get lots of spam delivered to your address because it's made public as a result.
@@TadiiGAll sorted as of today... Our trademark is registered!
The IPO people are helpful too, so I recommend people who read this to call them if they need help
Ahhhh amazing I’m soo happy for you!!
@@TadiiGThank you :)
Now it's time to start getting funding for development!
Can you trademark a tag line eg Nikes “just do it”?
I love your video, I just have a question...Is it possible to trademark my name as an individual in the UK? if so how can I?
Hello, yes you can and I believe it is the same process, you just select individual instead of company x
@@TadiiG thank you!!
Is it possible just to trademark the name of your business and not the logo. Or do you do both and will that be an extra £170
I am not too sure. Is your logo text or is it a symbol? xx
@@TadiiG its TEXT .its just a word
Then I believe you should be able to do both on the same £170 trademark. That is the way I did it. I trademarked my brand name along with they stylised version of it which is my logo xx
@@TadiiG thank you for being genuine and good luck with your channel
That’s so sweet of you thank you x
Hi Tadii G, do you know if a minor is allow to register for a trademark in uk? Can anyone let me know please?
Heyy according to a quick google search the answer is yes, but it is always good to get an adult involved in some of these things xx
@@TadiiG Hi Taddii G, yes, you right, I am actually using my dad details in all of my stuffs that requires an adult, hes cool with most of them.
Does anyone think a name including 'movement' could be successful?✨
is it legit in US as well?
Since you trademark your brand in the UK, but sell to US customers, have you trademarked your name in the US too?
Still waiting where she will show us how to get a trademark
I tried x
@@TadiiG no worries love u did it so well❤️
I can fxxx with this channel ‼️‼️
I’m glad !
too much talking, no practical to show how to apply for trademark.....too much time waste.......
Sorry you feel that way ❤️ xx
@@TadiiG the video was actually very informative.. learned so much! Thank you so much.
