    Register trademark...under my own name?

    Hi, so if I register the trademark (my Ltd Company logo and name) in my own name that is absolutely fine? Do I not need to somehow prove the trademark is being used by the company?

    Trademark

    Thanks for the replies. Are there any drawbacks to registering it in my own name or should I do it under the company? If I did it in my own name how would they know I was using it or does that not matter?

    Lost contact with web developer mid way through project and have paid already

    Thanks very much everyone. I have now been sent 20 or so screen shots of what the CMS looks like on Umbraco to prove they are doing the back end. Does this sound right? He says he will be switching from using their own Stripe (Payment) and Twilio (SMS notifications) accounts to our own tomorrow...

    Trademark

    Hi, I'm about to launch an online odd-job/freelancing marketplace website and need to trademark the name and logo. I wonder what the best way to do this is? I'm on a budget so I'm really after the cheapest possible method that works! I'm also not entirely sure what category of trademark this...

    fisicx, I agree, I do generally trust the guy, I've met him in person and he is nice - I think perhaps he's just a bit useless in some ways. He's told me the name of the developer doing the site and been open with me that he is a free lance developer as their in house one isn't capable of this...

    Thanks very much for all the advice, really helpful. I heard from him today and have replied firmly and he has told me everything is in order and that there are reasons for the delays. He's assured me its not a scam so I hope things will begin to pick up again. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again

    And Ian, yes I have tried phoning, but says 'calls cannot be made to this number at this time'.

I don't think the agency's a scam - I've me the Guy in person and he has linkedin etc. and...

    The trouble is that the site cost is £9000. This was a fair quote as I met with a number of agencies and it's a very complex project. We've paid £6750 so my issue is that they would be very expensive designs if we switched to another agency! Should I be asking for some money back and then to...

    I have read and agreed to Ts and Cs and no they have not breached it in the sense that there isn't a timescale attached to the project. However, with me having paid 3/4 instalments, I have paid for the website to be completed. Then final payment only gets paid once the whole thing is complete...

    Hi, At the end of last year I hired a web design agency in london to do a website for me. They have completed the logo and branding and have also done the designs for each page of the website. However, having paid 3/4 instalments (the final one being at handover), I haven't had a phone call in...
