Hi,
We are looking at applying for trademark or trademarks for our new startup business. Our business will allow people to use our copyright, designs and patents for a fee, and for consultants to do work for a client using our designs. We were considering whether it is appropriate to trademark our name under Trademarks Class 45 (exploitation of IP, licensing of patents, etc), or whether the items under this class were intended for a different sort of business model altogether? In other words, we aren't sure if Class 45 is at all relevant to our type of business. We are anxious to trade mark our name under the appropriate categories as soon as possible, and have gotten stuck on this question.
I would very much appreciate any help anyone is able to give, if they have any understanding of Class 45 and what sorts of situations it applies to. Thank you for any responses!
