Trademark Lens Team

Your name might already be trademarked-but in a different class. Understanding trademark classes unlocks names you thought were taken.

45 Trademark Classes

Goods (1-34), Services (35-45). You register per class, £170-200 each.

"Delta" exists for airlines, faucets, dental. Different industries, no conflict.

Your Name Might Be Available

Even if trademarked, check if it's in your industry. "Apple" was free for tech when founded (music label owned it).

Multi-Class Registration
