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.
So glad I found your video Luca!
Thank you Luca! Brilliant info
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.

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 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?
I really enjoyed this course.

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!
Very helpful what would we do without you❤

Hi I am wanting to trademark a logo also but how do you pot that in if it is an image?
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.
Do you have a video on how to create a brand name, any ideas on what to choose...
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 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
Thank you 😊
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?

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!
Can you register the name and logo at the same time or have to be done separately?
Hi Luca , with the disclaimer part would I need to add yes if my business name has the word activewear in it ?
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

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?
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 👌 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. 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?
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 :)
Do I need to use a UK phone number or just can I use my personal TR number for this application process? Thank you.
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
You might be able to make another video out of this issue!
Nice video
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.
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?

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
Жыл бұрын
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.
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.

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.
@7:14 what if I want to trade mark the logo, name and a slogan?
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?
@LucaDavenport
Жыл бұрын
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!
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?

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
Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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?

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, Thanks for such an easy to follow informative video. So could I just ask just to clarify, I'm starting up my own Amazon FBA business, I'm UK based and have set up my LTD. I have check the word for my brand and its all clear, no one else is using it. I've had a logo made up by a logo designer, so essentially its the word/brand and a fancy pattern around it, a really simple minimalistic design. So despite this should I still select the 1st option of just trademarking the word/brand at timestamp 6:24 instead of the 3rd option with the example of the word with the beehive? As in my mind prior to seeing your video I would have thought 3rd option would make more sense. OR does choosing the 3rd option trademark the image of the word/logo and not the actual word itself if that makes sense? I've not set up my Amazon store yet so will they accept my brand registry application if I have registered my brand as a word rather than the 3rd option of image of the word with the pattern around it. Thanks again!

Hey @@pearceproperty5265, yes you want to go for the first option. If you go for any of the other 2 choices which consist of images, if you ever change the image/logo design the trademark is no longer valid. However, if you trademark the name, for example Nike, whether you write it in bubble writing, times new roman font or anything else, the actual name belongs to you. That's the advice I got from reaching out to others who have done this before myself. I'm happy to say, since the time of asking my original post I have had my brand trademarked in the UK, my brand registry approved and have been selling on Amazon for almost a year now. Best of luck!
well, I couldn't register as the document keep telling me to continue BUT were is CONTUNUE
