I am based in the UK so I am only currently referring to UK law. Please excuse me if this question has already been answered, I have looked through the forums but not been able to find the same query.
I am in the process of registering a PLC, however the company name which I was about register, coincidentally was registered 6 months ago. I am still extremely keen to use this name as my brand. Currently this brand name is in use, but is not trademarked.
The only difference in between their company name and my proposed trading name is "the". I'm fairly certain that there's no way around this for me legally but thought I would check if it is possible for me to register this trademark to allow me to trade under this name?
Thanks in advance.
