If you want to register your name as a trade mark, with the significant protections that gives you, it must not only be available, but also registrable in its own right - for example, it must be distinctive, and it must relate to particular goods or services .
This is because registration means you get a virtual monopoly over the use of the name, and that is not a privilege lightly given. And if you register a European Community or other international mark, you can get protection throughout the whole of the European Union, and elsewhere.
We hope the above information gives you a good start - but when you're ready to get serious about your name, contact us for help and advice.
