Understanding trade mark registration
Trade mark registration legally grants the trade mark owner exclusive rights to use a mark related to particular goods or services. Governed by the Trade Marks Act 1994 and administered by the UK Intellectual Property Office, trade marks help businesses protect their identity and brand assets, including any unique services or products they provide. Trade marks also serve as a warning to other businesses that the trade mark is legally registered and protected.
Trade marks typically comprise words, numbers, logos, or a combination thereof. Under law, they’re divided into classifications that align with a business’ nature and scope. They’re also essential in preventing unauthorised usage or imitation. Through this process, businesses can claim ownership and address potential infringement.
Registered trade marks in the UK are classified per the NICE Classification, an international trade mark classification system, to which the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) are also signatories.
There are 45 different classes in which your trade mark could be registered, with 34 classes applying to goods and 11 applying to services. As these classes only provide a broad indication as to the goods and services that fall within the same, it’s common that trade marks (particularly trade marks that protect a brand name or logo) overlap the business’ customer base. When investigating the scope of your trade mark, our solicitors will identify those goods and services that are more relevant to your business.
