Trademarking a business name?

Posted at: 2014-12-08 
No; the trade mark search will highlight it is already in use by a competitor as their company name.

Yes Please..!!!

In the UK 100s of businesses can all use the same name. No-one trade marks it only the very large companies such as Mcds etc.

Just choose another name.

UK

just find another name to avoid confusion.

I am soon setting up a clothing line but someone has recently taken the same name i was going to use.

From what i can see, they have not trade marked their company name.

Can i trade mark the name and then use it even though they have technically started using the name 6months before me?
