What does tm'd mean:thinking:
 
We only recently managed to get talkphotography registered as a trade mark. It was initially refused and Admin had to go through an appeals process which we eventually won. :)
 
I think the sign was added to the logo around the end of November, early December.

It went on so long I've forgotten exactly when it was approved :D
 
The actual time when we got the letter saying it was ours, no contest was November :)
 
What is actually trademarked? I am guessing it is simply the logo?
 
Out of interest, how did you go about getting the Trademarking and what advatages does that give you over standard copyright and other intellectual property types?
 
talkphotography and the site logo :)

Basically no one else can use those in the same way we do.

You don't need to register a trademark for that protection though, although of course it's much easier to defend if you do.

I'm still interested in how you officially got a Trademarking.
 
Defending a trademark is never easy - especially when you are talking about general words such as "Talk" and "Photography". Okay, given that I am guessing that you have registered them as a single line - "talkphotography" (no space) then there is a valid argument that the logo appears to have a space in it.

I note there is no company "Talk Photography Ltd" and so is the Trademark watertight? Hope its not cost too much money.

Just a friendly comment - not sure what you guys are trying to achieve thats all.
 
There doesnt need to be a Ltd company to protect the trademark, thats what the trademark status is for ;) Individuals have a right to protect trademarks too! hehe

Protection, that's all.
We registered, applied in the relevant categories, paid for it out of our own pockets ;) and eventually it was passed. :thumbs:
