Can I register a name without a logo as a trade mark?

The Act allows any "sign" to be registered. Most registered trade marks are words, logos or combinations of both. Think of supermarkets and household names - ASDA, IKEA, KODAK, HONDA, KAWASAKI, ROLLS ROYCE, FERRARI etc.

Words and letters may be registered on their own or with logos.
