Hi Em, welcome to the site!

Just looking through the forums I found a discussion on a similar topic that you might want to take a look at: http://flyingstartups.com/lounge/other_start_worries_and_questions/trade_marks

In order to protect your name and logo you will need to trade mark it. The first thing to do is to check whether the name has already been taken and trade marked. You can do this at: http://online.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/cntc?r.li=1081114607&r.l1=1073858805&furlname=nameandtrademark&furlparam=nameandtrademark&ref=http%3A//www.companieshouse.gov.uk/about/miscellaneous/tradeMarkChecker.shtml&domain=www.businesslink.gov.uk.

If the name has not been taken then you will need to visit The Intellectual Property Office at www.ipo.gov.uk to start registering your name and logo. Before you begin this process it would be a good idea to read up on it and make sure you understand the ins and outs of trade-marking. You can read a comprehensive guide to the process at: https://www.ipo.gov.uk/t-essentialreading.pdf

Hope this helps!
