Trademark Student robotics name and logo #177

Open Tyler-Ward opened 5 years ago

Tyler-Ward commented 5 years ago

We should trademark the name and logo to prevent misuse

This can be done very easily online at https://www.gov.uk/how-to-register-a-trade-mark/apply. It will cost £200 for the basic application and £50 for every additional class that we register.

I suspect that we'll struggle to trademark "Student Robotics" as my understanding of trademarks is that ordinary words cannot be trademarked. (This is why you get deliberate misspellings like "Lyft")

We should be able to register the logo roundel and the term "srobo" though.

We should be able to trademark it as trademarks can be made up of generic words you just cant trademark a generic term for the field it is in e.g. you cant trademark "green apple" for a fruit brand but you could trademark it for an airline or similar.
