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

[@jammybilly]

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.

[@LucaDavenport]

You're very welcome!

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?

[@russparsonage2778]

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

[@OleksandrIvanov-d1b]

Hi. Nice video, thanks. After registration starts, should I be given a serial number so that I can register my own brand?

[@LucaDavenport]

Yep, you will be given an application / TM number

Thanks great help

[@MoHIMEL]

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

[@LucaDavenport]

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.

[@victory1607]

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?

[@festuseguavoen5678]

Thanks for this

[@Stefanjohnso]

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 ?

[@LucaDavenport]

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!

[@wave-7267]

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

[@LucaDavenport]

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

[@wave-7267]

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.

[@mahmutturdi]

Thank you very much Luca and please keep up 👍👍👍🙏

[@LucaDavenport]

Will do!

[@ldsmith5]

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?

[@Stefanjohnso]

Hi Luca, thanks for the video, Just a small question, I found my same trademark name but different class.. what should I do ?

[@LucaDavenport]

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

[@BatulObri]

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 ??

[@LucaDavenport]

I'll add it to my list!!

[@aravindgurumurthi207]

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?

[@LucaDavenport]

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!

[@JohnNormanMusic]

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

[@jaketinckenll4253]

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?

[@jasaionthetrack7045]

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?

[@LucaDavenport]

Hey, you can simply transfer ownership of the TM from a person to a company. So no need to re apply again

[@jasaionthetrack7045]

Top man. Thank you so much

[@arthiv8009]

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.

[@LucaDavenport]

I don't think you need to physically sign anything. You just submit the application digitally online

[@Naomisnotes]

Hi Luca , with the disclaimer part would I need to add yes if my business name has the word activewear in it ?

[@craigypd]

Great Video How would you register foe a trademark if you have a youtube channel/social media name and logo.? Thanks

[@estellxd8722]

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

[@LucaDavenport]

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

[@matty506]

What does "status dead" mean when looking at similar trademarks?

[@K10jak]

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.

[@CeciSylvia]

Thank you 😊

[@Paulwu-fo7hz]

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?

[@shakir1998]

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.

[@eelinggoh5082]

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

[@LucaDavenport]

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

[@bezzer81]

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.

[@LucaDavenport]

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

[@aerial_anna]

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?

[@LucaDavenport]

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.

[@gentletouchpodcast9095]

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 🥺.

[@LucaDavenport]

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".

[@elifmiko]

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!

can i register trademark from other country? and can i use residential address of my country?

[@alexroberts1583]

If your an individual should you use your home address? How safe would this be because the address becomes visible to everyone?

[@LucaDavenport]

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 :)

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 ?

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!

[@LucaDavenport]

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.

[@hanifkhan-pk]

Can we do Brand registry with UK TM on Amazon USA?

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
