Before discussing property company formation and UK trademark registration, it's important to know what the terms "property management company" and "trademark" entail.
The main function of a property management company is to own, manage, and administer assets such as freehold property and equipment and to protect the interests of leaseholders. These companies manage the acquisition, control, accountability, maintenance, utilization, and disposition of the properties entrusted to them. Property management company formation is usually no different from incorporating any other kind of company. For example, a separate bank account is required of property management companies. You also must incorporate your property management company's assets and liabilities, as well as have the name and business registered accordingly. This way, your company will be recognized as a juridical entity separate from its shareholders.
On the other hand, a trademark is typically a word and/or logo which identifies the product or service provided by a particular company. Trademarks are used to set apart a company, which is why they are used in property company formation. Trademark registration gives the owner of that trademark an exclusive right to use it in respect of the products and services registered. It's a good way to protect one's business and is usually an integral step in property management company formation AND UK trademarks may be registered for use in the United Kingdom as well as for international use. However, registering a trademark for international use is more difficult, since if a particular trademark is banned in one country, the company's application will be rejected. Registration costs and procedures may vary from country to country, which is why it's wise to do more research before anything else.
If you want to protect your company's assets and the identity of your business, it's important to register your property management company and its trademarks. Registration takes a pretty long time, so you should have it done as early as possible. In order to determine if there are any existing companies and trademarks similar to yours, the Registry conducts a full search to assess the viability of registration. If registration is found to be viable, the application will be published in a Trademarks Journal, in order to inform the public in case anyone would like to oppose the application.
The Registry will issue a certificate and registration will push through if there are no objections within this three month period. However, if there are objections, there will be a hearing first to resolve the issue. The company can also acquire a letter of consent from the owners of conflicting marks. In the UK, goods and services are classified into 45 under The Nice Classification System of Classes of Goods and Services. UK trademarks and property management companies should be registered with the name and address of the proprietor, as well as the product or service's class under this system. The UK system of classification is similar to systems used internationally. Property management company formation and UK trademarks are therefore easily adaptable to the international community.
