Which trademarks should be safeguarded or secured?

The trademarks you choose to protect depend on the value you place on your brands. Securing a trademark registration ensures that others cannot use the same trademark for similar products or services. When making decisions about what to protect, it is wise to evaluate the various brands used in your business. It is likely that certain elements, such as brand names or logos, are essential to your identity and you would not want competitors using them. These are the brands you should protect.

If you want to protect multiple trademarks, such as a brand name and a logo, you must submit separate applications. With our service, after completing the first trademark application, you have the option to apply for another trademark with similar details. The new application form pre-populates with the information you entered previously and is simple to modify.

What category or classification of trademark

It is essential to protect the brands that hold significance for your business. Typically, this includes trademarking your brand names, logos, and unique slogans. Logos can either be a stylized font of a brand name or a standalone logo without any words.

With Monarch Trademark's fully automated trademark application system you can:

Register your business name as a trademark
Secure a trademark for your brand name.
Obtain a trademark for your logo.
Register a phrase or slogan as a trademark

If your logo comprises words and the design itself is valuable to your business, it is advisable to apply separately to protect both the words and the logo.

Product and Service Classifications

Trademark registration is essential for protecting your brand for specific products or services. To ensure efficient and effective registration, the UK Trademark Office has classified products and services into 45 categories.

The classification system allows similar trademarks to be registered for different products and/or services by different companies. For Example

Our online application process is designed to make it easier for you to search and select the most relevant classes and descriptions for the products and services relevant to your business. We provide a list of descriptions approved by the Trademark Office to ensure accurate classification.

While it is important to be resolute about what products and services you register your trademark for, it is also important to be realistic. Our team is here to help guide you through the process and ensure that your trademark is registered accurately and effectively.

Owner of a trademark

The ownership of a trademark is at your discretion, and the decision should be based on whether it would be more suitable for an individual or a company to hold the asset, similar to the ownership of a car or a house. A trademark can be owned by various entities, including:

An individual or group of individuals
An incorporated trust or the current trustees
Other legal entities such as an incorporated society
Register a phrase or slogan as a trademark

As part of your trademark application, you will be required to furnish information about the owner of the trademark, such as their address, phone number, and email address. Although it is possible to modify the details of a trademark owner at any point in time, there may be associated costs involved with doing so.
