Open to opposition until 24 September 2026

Anyone with grounds has two months from the day a mark is advertised to oppose it. A TM7A notice of threatened opposition, filed inside that window, extends the deadline to 24 October 2026. A deadline that falls on a day the IPO is closed moves to the next day it opens. A mark that is not opposed proceeds to registration.

What it covers

Every mark is filed against one or more of the 45 Nice classes. These are the ones this application names.

A word mark protects the words themselves, in any ordinary typeface — the broadest protection, because it does not depend on how the mark is drawn.

Frequently asked questions

Is The Association of Black British Theatre a registered trade mark?▾
Not yet on this record. UK00004415743 has been accepted by the UK Intellectual Property Office and advertised in its weekly journal on 24 July 2026, which opens it to opposition. A mark that is not opposed proceeds to registration; one that is opposed may be refused in whole or in part. Check the IPO's own record for the current status.
When is the deadline to oppose The Association of Black British Theatre?▾
Opposition to UK00004415743 must be filed by 24 September 2026 — two months from the day it was advertised. Filing a TM7A notice of threatened opposition inside that window extends the deadline to 24 October 2026. A deadline falling on a day the IPO is closed moves to the next day it opens. That window is still open.
Who applied for The Association of Black British Theatre?▾
Mandala Entertainment Group Ltd is the applicant named on the application. The applicant is the party that would own the mark if it registers.
What goods and services does The Association of Black British Theatre cover?▾
UK00004415743 is filed in 4 classes of the Nice classification: class 9 (scientific, measuring and computing apparatus, software, recorded media, eyewear and safety equipment), class 16 (paper and cardboard, printed matter, stationery, books, artists' materials and paper packaging), class 35 (advertising, business management and administration, office functions, and retail and wholesale services), class 41 (education and training, entertainment, sporting and cultural activities, and publishing). Protection reaches only the classes a mark is filed in, so a similar name in an unrelated class is not necessarily a conflict.
What does "Word" mean on this trade mark?▾
The IPO records UK00004415743 as a word mark. That means it protects the words themselves, in any ordinary typeface — the broadest protection, because it does not depend on how the mark is drawn.
What is the Nice classification?▾
An international scheme of 45 classes — 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services — that every trade mark office uses to say what a mark covers. An applicant pays per class, so the classes on an application are a deliberate choice about how wide the protection should be.

About this record

This comes from the trade marks journal the UK Intellectual Property Office publishes every Friday, listing the marks it has accepted that week. It is the journal rather than the full register: a mark advertised here can still be opposed, and the IPO publishes no bulk export of the register itself.
