Hi all,
I am in the process of preparing a registration for trademarking a new logo with IP Australia - which is an image and two words. We have two versions of the logo, one is vertical, the other horizontal. All details of the logo are exactly the same, the only difference is the position of the image and text. The 'vertical' logo has the text under the image, and the 'horizontal' logo has the text and image almost aligned.
The trademark registration process only allows to enter one image. I had a look at the requirements for a logo series but it didn't seem to apply to this case. It seems to me that given that the image and text are exactly the same, only their positions change, I could use either version of the logo to cover both? What is the best way to deal with that under intellectual property law?
