Trademark help
Discussion
So basically we’re in the process of setting up the new side of our business and rebranding.
Going to Be looking to trademark the business name, but the question I have is should I just go ahead and apply for the trademark for the business name or would I be better to wait until the branding is done? Or does it make no difference ?
It’s six and half a dozen to me I just want to protect the name more than anything, any advice much appreciated

Don’t know your prior knowledge, but thought this might be useful:
Was it a plaintext mark? No superfluous words?
Right number of classes, and right type? Not too narrow for your needs? Included a broad class as well as specific ones?
Important - Checked your ‘clearance’ yet? ie are there already identical/similar marks on the register? In industry use?

Have you done a trademark clearance search to make sure the mark or your new branding is free for you to use.
I once met a guy who had invested £10k in his new automotive service business, all the branding was done and branded materials had been made. Within a month of trading he got a nice letter from a big player in that the same field because his business name was the included the name of most famous product..
