This column tells you how you can do this in the United Kingdom. Trademarks are geographic. They only apply in countries where they are used or registered. In the UK, businesses are called, commonly known or marketed by trademark. In the United States, and perhaps in other countries, trademarks relate to goods.
Many people confuse trademarks with registered trademarks.
The main difference in the UK is that anyone in business can have a trademark. In the UK, you can register a trademark even if you are not in business. But you must have the intention to use the trademark at some time or you could lose the registration rights. Although, technically, there is no time limit on initiating use, continued inaction may indicate a lack of intention to use the trademark. If you are thinking of registering a trademark on this basis, be careful.
