2. What special marks can't be used as elements when applying for a British trademark?
The Royal British Army, or any major coat of arms of the Royal Army, or any badge or pattern that is very similar to the Royal Army or its coat of arms and is easily mistaken by people, any graphic of the Royal Flag, the portrait of Her Majesty the Queen or any member of the royal family, or any specious imitation or writing, can easily make people think that the applicant has received a gift or authorization from the royal family or recently, and these elements cannot be the factors for applying for a British trademark.
3. It takes 1~2 months to apply for a British trademark and about 6-9 months to apply for the whole trademark. If you successfully apply for a British trademark, you can protect it for 10 years, and the trademark can be renewed at that time.
