Trade Mark: Can the word + logo I am registering contain .co.uk ?

[johnp1]

Dear friends,

I am planning to register a logo which is simply the name of my brand and underneath within the same graphical representation I have the termination .co.uk (this is the same with my website which I own).

Is it possible to do this since it coincides with my domain name?
Should I register the logo without the .co.uk ? Should I perhaps register 'Brand UK' as a variation from the logo?

I am afraid that if I register it including the .co.uk within the graphical representation logo, it will be rejected.

Thank you for your help!

It doesn't seem to hinder airlines.

Why even bother. You can replicate that with css - doesn’t need to be a graphic.

Leave off the .co.uk and just register the brand.

Thanks!

In this case should I simply register the word and not the graphical representation (logo) without .co.uk?

I don't actually need the logo registered just the word. Thank you!

I'd question whether you need to register the word, but for £100 (or whatever) it could be educational.

Other than that, absolutely no need to register anything else.

Yeah I did submit the registration, let's see what happens next. Thanks for your input.

I thought about registering a trademark years ago but decided it just wasn't worth the effort. The chances of anyone copying the names of the umpteen websites I use to conduct my business is virtually zero.

I plan to use this trade mark printed on actual products. My competitors might register it if I don't do it first and might attempt to create me problems. In my situation, even a bit of protection might work as good leverage in the long run. Cheers!
