Hi mate quick? I have searched for the trademark i was looking for one company already has the same name but the status is dead. Could you please tell me what does that mean what can i do to get the trademark from them thank you. Please reply
I am a visual learner, so these step by step videos are brilliant. They are quick and easy and it means I don't need to immediately spend time learning about the other options that are available on the pages I'm filling in, because your very helpful video says "want this?" "do this". Thanks very much for doing these.
thanks Luca, you made it very easy.I have one question please.I have my logo printed on teh actual product(s). I have teh pckaging design but not printed yet. Can I still aplly without this? as u mentioned nothing about having logo printed on product or any design so i wanted to ask.Thank you!
Thanks Luca! Your videos are always helpful. Do appreciate your help for explaining everything. Basically I am selling a product under Generic on Amazon and now thinking to establish a brand name. Do you think it is possible I can first create just a brand name without a product , register trademark and then connect with my generic product ? I am Just new with this and your suggestion willl be helpful.
Thanks so much Luca. That was a great clear video, and I followed it step by step in real time whilst I completed my application. I'm very grateful. Do you have a video to consider trademarking in other countries as well, like USA?
I'm not looking to set up a trademark name just but need some guidance about searching , my question is if I put in, say, a football team e.g. Liverpool in the government search engine and it comes up registered, then you put in Liverpool Legends or similar and it is not registered is this then ok to use and also band names if they are not registered can you use them . By the way great video
Hi Luca, I have applied for the trademark, and it got approved. Thanks for your help❤ Just one more question, when will I able to apply for Amazon brand registry, now or after 2 months ?
Amazon says you have to wait until it’s is fully registered but many of my students have managed to get approval while in the pending status, so it’s worth a go!
Hi Luca, Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I have registered for a trademark. Can I register my trademark on Amazon, whilst the application is still pending? Would I be doing it on the IP accelerator page or the usual brand registry page?
Hi Luca. The process seems to be very easy. However... I can register a business name and logo. his will give me protection within chosen category. However what if I will have also a slogan, which I would like to protect? Will this be included or I have to by copyrigths protection from third party companies just for this purpose?
Hi Luca, thank you for your video. Very informative! I have 2 quick questions: In your opinion, how likely is an application to be approved; 1. If I do a trademark search and I find a company with the same name who is also registered under the same class, ie. Class 9, but don't list the same things within that class that I would be looking to sell or work with, example: They list "Blowtorches, equipment for securing trussing in construction", where I would be selling "musical sound recordings"? ; 2. If I find that the other company who shares the same name not only are registered in the same class, but also sell the same things, however the businesses are completely different, example: Class 25, where they are also selling clothing but have a different logo and are in a completely different field of business ie; Home Renovations vs Music? Many thanks, J
Thanks for another great video Luca!! I've one questions that I did not find any definitive answers for- How do I register a brand that has Both letters and image mixed. for instance, a presence of a logo in between two separate words? I would be very grateful for your advise! Many thanks
There is brand name and logo, they are two different things and you can trademark either or both. To keep things simple, it's normally best to trademark just the brand name. This is all you need to sell that brand on Amazon.
Hello, do you know how long does it take for IPO UK trademark registered address update after application? What are documents required for it? How many times we can update address Can you please reply
Hi luca frist of all thank you very much secondly I completed main and I recived a litter from TPS for Trademark Publication and it will cost £825 😢 can you please explain this Thanks waiting for your
Great vid! I’ve noticed on a search I’ve just done that some same name entries (in categories I don’t want) are “registered” or “dead” (case sensitive varies). This brings me a question, if trademark lasts 10 years and shows as registered in 2007 - if it was renewed surely it would show “dead”. There are dead and registered ones for 2007. That would suggest to me that one was renewed I.e now showing registered, and one is showing dead both for 2007. But if it lasts for 10 years and it’s valid - is it the initial registration that occurred in 2007 and still valid now? If you can do a video on examples of registered and dead with date examples that would be good! My trademark name is available in the categories I want but thought I’d bag the others if they’re free. Thanks for the vid.
Hi Luca, I was wondering if you could help me, I have received a cease and desist notice, I have searched for the registration number and something total different comes up, I have also done a word research and nothing comes up. I am a little confused, if you can help, please let me know Many thanks Nick
Hi Luca, this a very informative video. However, there is just one thing that concerns me which you maybe able to clarify for me. Under Owner Type, I intend to use my trademark for my limited company which I have not registered yet since I do not want any issues with HMRC and taxes, therefore would it be advisable if I register under my personal name if so would I then be able to transfer is to my limited company when it has been registered ?
Excellent video! Thanks for making it :) One question: I believe you can register on Brand registry even when trademark registration is pending. Can you please clarify?
Nice video!! If you are selling on Amazon US Marketplace from Portugal/unsupported trademark countries by Amazon. Can I register a trademark and brand name directly in the US because I am only selling in the US?
what if i have a name that is not exact but it is half of another persons trademark for eg. i want to trademark LAB and the other persons is TECHLAB. will i be good to just do this on my own or do you suggest using an official
where it says " apply to register a trade mark" 7.15. could you put Techlabs, teclabscompany, teclabsltd, teclabs clothing ect... in the same box to cover diffrent branches
Nope! Just one single trademark word / phrase per application. If you want multiple trademarks as you have described, each one will need it's own application
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much Luca. I have 1 question. Can I register my name as an individual first and then (few years later) register the same name as a limited company?
I've noticed some trademarks register say 2 words, one being a trademark that someone else's owns in the same class. what stops the person who owns the single word going after the person who has the 2 words registered? Or is it if they always use the 2 words together they are okay?
You have to use your home address unless you have a business address, as you need to be able to provide proof of address. That's one of the reasons people often purchase a 'virtual address'. Give it a Google :)
Thank you for your explanation which is really useful. If the applicant wants to file trademark application directly in UK do they have to digitally sign the applicant. Like in India we need to digitally sign and submit the application.
Thanks Luca! Great video and helpful! If your class are: 6,9,14 and other Brand is 9,20,30,40. You check and discover that the class 9 is same to that Brand. You cannot register you brand because 1 single class is similar?
So basically, if the earlier mark is in the same Class as yours, and is registered under similar goods (Class 9 is quite expansive so it's not always the case), then yes if the examiner feels that your mark is similar enough then they would be contacted. Now if you have multiple classes, you can remove the Class or the certain good/service inside the Class that is clashing if you do not want the other side to be contacted of your mark. Different Classes can also clash with each other so it's also useful to have a look at the IPO's similar Class list (www.gov.uk/government/publications/searching-for-similar-trade-mark-goodsservices-in-other-classes/trade-mark-cross-search-list#class-9). For example, if you have 'digital books' which is in Class 9 and someone with a similar trade mark to yours has 'books' which is in Class 16, they may also be notified depending on how similar the marks are. Now one thing to keep in mind is that you can always remove whatever is clashing to avoid opposition from the other side unless your mark does not have any non-clashing goods/services.
Hey, ive just come across this video, super helpful btw. I just have a few questions if thats okay? I have a business idea and plan but I haven't launched it yet and want to get it trademarked before launching. can I put my personal email for the application or is it better to set up a business email first? Thanks Luca!
Thank you for your extremely useful video. I have a couple of questions: a) If you registered brand as ‘Text’ only, and later you added image or logo, would Amazon allow you to use this on your products as you only register text version. b) If you registered your Brand as Image / logo, can you change the font colours of it on your product and on Amazon - would Amazon allow you this. Thank you
Glad you found it helpful! A) Yes that's fine and what most people do. You register a text / wordmark trademark and then use that word in logo form on your product. Just make sure the font/design is easily readable by Amazon. B) No you can't, that's why I always recommend registered a text / wordmark trademark
Thank you, it helps a great deal as I was unsure about designing the logo colours now at the registration stage as I don’t know what product box colours would look like & if I designed the logo colours now, these may not go with the future box design. Therefore the answer in (a) would work perfect as I can get the text registered now & later design logo with image etc reflecting the exact registered text.
in the governemnt website say this if someone copy your trademark: Take legal action against anyone who uses your brand without your permission, including counterfeiters. Anyone, also if you are in a different class. Is right? or i lost something?
Hi, thank you for your great video. As the trademarks registry might take awhile to be approved. Please may I know while waiting for the approval, could I still proceed with the Amazon brand registry? Thank you
Amazon says that you can't but many of my students have managed to, so it's definitely worth trying. Worst case, they reject the application and you just try again once the TM is fully registered
Hi, thanks for this great video! How long does it take for a pending trademark number as I believe you can use a pending number for Amazon Brand Registry?
Thanks for the video! If I sell gift hampers including candles, chocolate, face masks etc. (not made by me but wholesale products) will I have to include all of these different classes (which gets more expensive) or can I just choose "Hampers" as one class?
Hello, I live in China. When I registered, I filled in my address in China. I received the prompt “At least one of the owners must provide an address in the United Kingdom, Gibraltar or the Channel Islands. Otherwise, please add details of a representative with an address in the United Kingdom, Gibraltar or the Channel Islands” What should i do ?i dont have friend or company in UK
Hi There if our business is in the United States and we are registering for a UK trademark, what address do we put down? We do not have a UK address. Please let me know . Ty
Great video. I'm looking to trademark my company name but i would need the funds (Royalties) to go into a new and different bank account. Do i register the trademark on the new company that I'm looking to open up and effectively send royalties to that new company, or Trademark my active company now and still open a new company account and send royalties to that new company called the same, and trademark that new company? I'm trying to avoid going over the VAT threshold. Hope that makes sense and id appreciate any advice :)
That shouldn't be an issue as long as you are the business owner. If it is, you can make your LTD company the 'IPO representative'. It's free to do this after registration using a form on the IPO website.
Hi could you help me please im a tad stuck at the start of where we select owner type then individual for the name do I need to put my name or the name im trade marking for. Aswell as declaration near the end do I need go put the name again im trade marking for or my own personal name again
Thank you, Luca, for sharing this highly informative video. I have a question regarding the selection of products within a trademark registration class. Could choosing too many products within a class, such as the case with jewelry under class 14 (like choker necklaces, beaded necklaces, etc.), potentially result in a rejection? I initially included a variety of specific and general jewelry items, but my list grew quite lengthy. What advice do you have in this situation? Thanks much!
So basically if my brand is named "Mike" and there is a brand with the same name and catrgory can I just rename it and register it under it "Mike sports" for example?
That should be fine but the other brand can always contest it and say its too similar to theirs. It's down to the discretion of the IPO and not always black and white.
@@LucaDavenport @LucaDavenport but they do not have a logo, just a word, and I have a graphic logo as well, so I could even use "Mike" still or use "Mike Sports" just to be extra safe right? Thank you for your help btw!
Hi , thank you so much for doing this video say for example you want to protect the name but in the near future you want it under a limited company could you later change it only because the brand does not make enough money but you would like to protect the name. Hope that makes sense 🥺.
Yep, you can change ownership in the future! Or even easier, just keep the ownership under your name and make your LTD company the "trademark representative".

Yep, you will be given an application / TM number
Thank you so much mate! What a terrific video, so quick and clear. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for this video, so clear and useful!!!

RUclips at its best! Very helpful.
Wow, you deliver it in easy way - applause for you. 😊
Thank you Luca, that's been really useful. At least I now have an idea what to do. Best wishes
Thanks Luca! Your videos are always helpful. Do appreciate your help for explaining everything.

Just new with this and your suggestion willl be helpful.
Another excellent video, many thanks, Luca.... super easy....just registered mine!!
Glad to hear! :)
Can you register the name and logo at the same time or have to be done separately?
Thanks so much Luca. That was a great clear video, and I followed it step by step in real time whilst I completed my application. I'm very grateful. Do you have a video to consider trademarking in other countries as well, like USA?
I don't I'm afraid!
THANK YOU FRIEND, VERY HELPFUL
Thank you so much for this video. Very straight forward. I am making 2 trademark applications. One for my logo and one for my brand name 🙏🏼
Good luck :)
Hi I am wanting to trademark a logo also but how do you pot that in if it is an image?
I'm not looking to set up a trademark name just but need some guidance about searching , my question is if I put in, say, a football team e.g. Liverpool in the government search engine and it comes up registered, then you put in Liverpool Legends or similar and it is not registered is this then ok to use and also band names if they are not registered can you use them . By the way great video
Thank you so much, saved £100s on legal fees
No problem 👍
Loved your no none sense explanation.
Thanks!
Should I use my personal email or business email to register?
Business email!
Thank you for the valuable info.
Is there anyway to speed up the waiting process after application? Is paying a lawyer faster?
Nope, sadly not!
Hi Luca,
I have applied for the trademark, and it got approved. Thanks for your help❤
Just one more question, when will I able to apply for Amazon brand registry, now or after 2 months ?

Just put my application in. Many thanks.

Glad it helped!
Followed so I can TM my fitness logo, Thank you so much.
Hi Luca. The process seems to be very easy. However... I can register a business name and logo. his will give me protection within chosen category. However what if I will have also a slogan, which I would like to protect? Will this be included or I have to by copyrigths protection from third party companies just for this purpose?
I really enjoyed this course.
Legend, thank you very much! 🙏
Hi Luca , with the disclaimer part would I need to add yes if my business name has the word activewear in it ?
Hi Luca, thank you for your video. Very informative!
I have 2 quick questions:
In your opinion, how likely is an application to be approved;
1. If I do a trademark search and I find a company with the same name who is also registered under the same class, ie. Class 9, but don't list the same things within that class that I would be looking to sell or work with, example: They list "Blowtorches, equipment for securing trussing in construction", where I would be selling "musical sound recordings"? ;
2. If I find that the other company who shares the same name not only are registered in the same class, but also sell the same things, however the businesses are completely different, example: Class 25, where they are also selling clothing but have a different logo and are in a completely different field of business ie; Home Renovations vs Music?
Many thanks,
J
What does "status dead" mean when looking at similar trademarks?
Hi Luca, thanks for the video,
Just a small question, I found my same trademark name but different class.. what should I do ?
That is probably not an issue, however you may want to get a trademark lawyer/firm involved to help advise you as it makes things a little more risky
Thank you very much, it looks much easier after your explanation
Thanks for another great video Luca!! I've one questions that I did not find any definitive answers for- How do I register a brand that has Both letters and image mixed. for instance, a presence of a logo in between two separate words?

Hello TRADE MARK video is amazing ! can you make a video on company registration in the UK , the sea way as you made for brand registration ??

Thank you for the video. If I trade mark a name as an individual, then decide to register as a business after, does it make a difference?
That shouldn't be an issue as long as you are the business owner. If it is, you can make your LTD company the 'IPO representative'. It's free to do this after registration using a form on the IPO website.

Thank you, Luca, for sharing this highly informative video. I have a question regarding the selection of products within a trademark registration class. Could choosing too many products within a class, such as the case with jewelry under class 14 (like choker necklaces, beaded necklaces, etc.), potentially result in a rejection? I initially included a variety of specific and general jewelry items, but my list grew quite lengthy. What advice do you have in this situation? Thanks much!
So basically if my brand is named "Mike" and there is a brand with the same name and catrgory can I just rename it and register it under it "Mike sports" for example?
That should be fine but the other brand can always contest it and say its too similar to theirs. It's down to the discretion of the IPO and not always black and white.
@@LucaDavenport @LucaDavenport but they do not have a logo, just a word, and I have a graphic logo as well, so I could even use "Mike" still or use "Mike Sports" just to be extra safe right?
Thank you for your help btw!
Hi , thank you so much for doing this video say for example you want to protect the name but in the near future you want it under a limited company could you later change it only because the brand does not make enough money but you would like to protect the name. Hope that makes sense 🥺.
Yep, you can change ownership in the future! Or even easier, just keep the ownership under your name and make your LTD company the "trademark representative".
