About Series Trademark
A series application concerns closely related marks that meet the statutory test for a series. It is not a general way to place several unrelated brand names in one application.

- Identify every proposed version of the mark.
- Assess whether differences are non-distinctive within the statutory series test.
- Confirm the common owner and relevant goods or services.
Documents required
We send this as a single written checklist so you are not chased for documents one at a time.
After the filing
What stays your responsibility once this is done.
