Colin's top tips:

  • "Make sure that your name and logo style design is as unique and different as possible."
  • "Research any names and logo styles that might be similar to the one that you are about to register, be prepared to alter the spelling of any commonly used words that you intend to use."
  • "Make sure you know what classes of goods or services you are applying for as you will need these to make your application."
  • "A UK trade mark will only give protection in the UK. Check out the alternatives if you are thinking of protection abroad."
