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
Thanks for a great concise explanation. Straight to the point, no unnecessary talk, step by step guide. A job well done.
Spot on delivery - couldn't work out where we opted for Right Start Application, but you cleared that up easy peasy. Keep up the good work.
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.
You're very welcome!
Thank you Luca! Brilliant info
So glad I found your video Luca!
Thank you so much mate! What a terrific video, so quick and clear. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for this video Luca - very useful, easy to follow and very clear.
Thank you so much. This video has been extremely helpful as I had been struggling and reaching a rabbit hole. Subscribed!
CZcams at its best! Very helpful.
Wow, you deliver it in easy way - applause for you. 😊
Thank you very much, it looks much easier after your explanation
Thanks Mate, 2023 and this information is still useful. Timeless
Crystal clear explanation 🎉
Thank you Luca, that's been really useful. At least I now have an idea what to do. Best wishes
This deserves way more views
Amazing help, thanks!
Extremely helpful video. Many thanks.
Another excellent video, many thanks, Luca.... super easy....just registered mine!!
Glad to hear! :)
Thankyou! very well explained.
Thank you Luca - very helpfull!
THANK YOU FRIEND, VERY HELPFUL
Perfect! 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.
You are a star, very helpful information thank you.
Thank you very much Luca and please keep up 👍👍👍🙏
Will do!
great job .thanks for all important info's
Perfect explanation
Just put my application in. Many thanks.
Andy.
Glad it helped!
Very helpful what would we do without you❤
I really enjoyed this course.
Legend, thank you very much! 🙏
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 great help
Thanks for this
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!
Hey, thanks for the video! I selected the brand logo with text option, will my brand name be trademarked as well or just the image?
Thanks for the upload
THANKS FOR GREAT INFO
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?
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?
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!
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!
Can you register the name and logo at the same time or have to be done separately?
Followed so I can TM my fitness logo, Thank you so much.
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.
Thank you 😊
Loved your no none sense explanation.
Thanks!
Do you have a video on how to create a brand name, any ideas on what to choose...
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!
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 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
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 , with the disclaimer part would I need to add yes if my business name has the word activewear in it ?
Hi Luca - great video 👌 what if the name you have is almost the same except for very slight punctuation? For example if I wanted to register 'bakers corner' but 'baker's corner' is TM'd? And the 2 logos are completely different?
If you’re planning on filing a trademark in the same class, then it will likely be rejected unfortunately. You can always speak to a trademark agency / lawyer though as they may be able to advise better
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
Do I need to use a UK phone number or just can I use my personal TR number for this application process?
Thank you.
You might be able to make another video out of this issue!
@7:14 what if I want to trade mark the logo, name and a slogan?
thank you
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 ?
Nice video
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?
Amazon say you can't but many of my students have tried and been successful, so my advice would be to try. Might as well give it a go!
What is figurative in the brackets next mark text in the letter IPO UK sent me to say that my trademark is successful?
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?
Please make a video on the item design registered in uk
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!
Thank you very much for the information. I want to ask something related to the trademark. I am going to apply trademark reg this week but I am currently selling some FBA products with GTIN exemption. When I get a trademark and enrol amazon brand registry, I want to relist all my products with my own brand to add A+ content. Which way do you suggest so that my sales are being affected minimum by deleting old listings and listing new ones?
Thank you again.
Hey! You definitely don't want to delete the listings and start again, otherwise you will loose all your organic ranking, reviews and PPC campaigns! If your listings with GTIN exemption already have your brand name in them, then you don't need to delete them. They will automatically be updated and connected to your brand enrolled brand.
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 :)
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.
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
Great video mate, if I wanted to register a trademark but theres already one similar for example theirs is Blissful Clothing but I wanted just Blissful. There will be one class that will be the same but I will have additional ones. What will be the likelihood of mine being accepted?
Hmm might be tough. In your situation, I would advise speaking with a TM lawyer for advice and not doing it on your own.
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.
I don't think you need to physically sign anything. You just submit the application digitally online
Thank you for the advice you have given everyone with this video. I do have a question however
I want to trademark a book name in the UK which I have seen is available and not taken by anyone. Is there anything I need to know before applying and paying for this? Something I have missed perhaps?
Nope! If it’s available, you can go ahead and apply for the TM. I would always go with the £200 option that includes a check to avoid any issues.
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.
Great Video
How would you register foe a trademark if you have a youtube channel/social media name and logo.?
Thanks
what class would social media names go under?
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?
can u go into details if you are offshore?
Hi Luca, great video. Can I ask why you would select ‘Similar’ rather than ‘Exact’? When I select similar it brings up an error saying over 1000 results but under exact there is no trade marks matching my search criteria were found? I’m I good to use exact?
The reason is that if someone has a similar trademark to yours in the same class, they can still contest your trademark. So you need to search using the 'similar' filter and then manually check using your own common sense. Good luck!
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.
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
Can we do Brand registry with UK TM on Amazon USA?
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 ??
I'll add it to my list!!
Hi Luca! So suppose I know the name of the business I want to open but have not yet generated a logo. Will I be able to register the name first and at a later stage the logo? And if possible, would it be more expensive to do it this way?
Better to do same time
Great video thanks for the info. If i register my brand but then decide that I want to add another class to the name is that possible or do I have to do the whole process again with a different name ? Many thanks.
Sadly not, you have to start the whole process off again but you can use the same name. That's the only way to add new classes
@@LucaDavenport Thanks for the info
I do not have a company in UK, and I do not live there. Can I signup as individual. How to get virtual address in UK ?
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
Hello, thanks for the video. kindly note my business is not in UK but I just want to register the trade marker in UK. is that possible or not allowed? please advice.
Yes you can still apply
well, I couldn't register as the document keep telling me to continue BUT were is CONTUNUE
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".
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
I am trying trademark my logo and my companies name and meaning in script it won't accept it.
Hi Luca, great video!
I had a question for you:
We sell many goods in many categories, we do not focus on any specific niche. We want to register a trademark in the UK through the IPO, and were wondering if registering a trademark for 1 class (For example Sporting goods) will allow us to sell in any category we want on Amazon using that same brand and trademark (For example Home and Garden), or will Amazon only allow us to sell in Sporting goods as that's what we selected in the IPO registration process?
Thank you!
Yep, registering in one class will allow you to be brand registered and sell in any category on Amazon under that brand name
@@LucaDavenport Thanks for the quick response Luca, keep up your great work
@@jackyboy6170 to me knowledge , the registration will protect you only in that specific category though.
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.
Thank you so much, saved £100s on legal fees
No problem 👍
Great Vid! I have a question, if I set up under my own address (sole trader/home address) can I change/amend the address after I set up an LLP? Thanks.
Yep you can!
@@LucaDavenport Great, thanks 👍
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?
Hey, you can simply transfer ownership of the TM from a person to a company. So no need to re apply again
Top man. Thank you so much
You are amazing
Thank you so much for this giveaway post
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
Sadly the fact that it is your name makes no difference when it comes to trademarks! However, provided it is in a totally different class to other 'Pringles' trademarks, you should be okay. I would definitely use a trademark lawyer / service provider for that though, rather than doing it yourself.
