Rolls-Royce tops the list as Britain's trade mark register turns 150
"The Goodwood-built marque pipped Radio Caroline, Twinings and Cadbury to the top spot in a survey that drew around 2,000 nominations, with the public asked to choose the brands they felt had most shaped daily life in the UK."
"The register now protects more than 2.5 million marks, with around 200,000 fresh applications received in the past year alone, a record-breaking figure that points to the value modern entrepreneurs place on owning their identity in an increasingly crowded marketplace."
"More than 400 trade marks filed before 1900 remain live on the register, a remarkable testament to brand longevity. Bovril, Drambuie, Lyle's Sugar, Bird's Custard Powder, Rose's Lime Juice Cordial, and Woodward's Gripe Water are all still trading on the goodwill first banked by their Victorian founders."
Rolls-Royce has been named the most iconic trademark in the UK, surpassing brands like Radio Caroline and Cadbury in a public poll. This survey coincides with the 150th anniversary of the UK trademark register, which began on January 1, 1876. The register now protects over 2.5 million marks, with a record 200,000 new applications in the past year. Notably, several trademarks filed before 1900, such as Bovril and Lyle's Golden Syrup, remain active, showcasing brand longevity and the importance of trademark protection for modern entrepreneurs.
