In order to answer the advantages of trademark application in the UK, we may first have to look at the answer to the question of what can happen if you do not register.
If you opt for this, someone else can register your trademark and take a considerable risk. It can ensure that you are no longer allowed to use your trademark in the United Kingdom.
But on the other hand, there are benefits. You get a monopoly on the brand name or logo and thus you can keep competitors from your market. With trademark registration you can act against parties that cause confusion by using a similar brand.
If you use trademark monitoring, you can also object in time to others who submit similar trademarks for similar goods or services. You can do this during the opposition period of two months and it ensures that a new trademark can not be registered.
