Trade mark ownership

Trade mark registrations must be owned by legal entities, usually companies or individuals.

The owner of a trade mark should be the person or entity that uses the trade mark.

If you have a company then usually it is best for the company to own the trade mark.

Filing in the correct name is important because if the trade mark is not used by the recorded owner, or under their control, the registration could be vulnerable to challenge, including revocation for non-use.

Contact MARKY if you would like advice on ownership of your trade mark.
