Register a trade mark for a transport company
Securing a trademark is also possible for transport and logistics services
Yes, a transport company can have a name or logo registered as a trademark, in the same way as any other business can. This is done via the BOIP for a Benelux trademark or via the EUIPO for a trademark that applies throughout the European Union. Which of the two is appropriate depends on where the company is active or wishes to become active. Without that registration, there is no exclusive right to the name: if the company does nothing with it, it runs the risk that another party will have the same name or a very similar name registered and subsequently can prevent its use — even if the transport company has been using the name for longer.
An application also requires the selection of the correct class or classes from the Nice Classification. Transport, logistics and related services fall under their own category in that classification, separate from, for example, the sale of goods or storage services
Where this is based on
- The Nice Classification of Goods and Services (WIPO)
- BOIP — Benelux Office for Intellectual Property
- EUIPO — European Union Intellectual Property Office
The registers and the class list are public. We cite sources for each claim; you need not take our word for it.
