To file for a trademark application, you can do so as a physical person (with your personal details) or as a business entity. Therefore, the information which will be publicly shared by the IP Office slightly differs.

The details that will be visible in the public trademark registry are, in the case of a natural (physical) person:

  • Address - primary (domicile) address of the applicant
  • Citizenship
  • Legal name

For a legal (business) entity, the following will be shown:

  • Business name
  • Registered address of the business
  • Name of representative

FC Liverpool’s failure to attain “Liverpool” trademark: When 19 league titles just aren't enough

Acknowledging the full extent of brand infringement, FC Liverpool has attempted to register a trademark for the word Liverpool in an attempt to extend its scope of brand protection. These efforts have been unsuccessful following a heated public debate, with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) rejecting the application due to the geographical significance of the city of Liverpool. Yet, Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur represent examples of football clubs that have succeeded in their efforts to register trademarks for the words Chelsea and Tottenham. This viewpoint explores the seemingly subtle, yet significant, differences in these cases and explores the wider implications for brand protection.
