Youtube set to protect trademarks of influencers shaping the society
Support services provided by YouTube now extend to automatic protection of a registered trademark for all videos and channels.
Unfortunately, neither of these variations would improve your chances of successful trademark registration. The same goes for phonetic or homophone spelling, such as using "2B" instead of "to be", etc.
The reason is trademarks are looked at not just in terms of spelling but also of the distinct meaning they signal to their consumers. Slight variations such as these are not considered enough to turn an otherwise descriptive/generic term into a distinct mark.
