Woolly Babs is now a registered name and trademark and she's loving it.
After starting the Christmas jumper business almost by accident, we've got to the stage where we've realised we've actually got somewhere and have things that need protecting.
So we did lots of paperwork and have fully registered our name and logo. Even though the logo is just something we drew by hand, it's now to be treated with the same respect as Coca-Cola, ok? Thanks.
We're not going to go crazy with the ® symbol as Babs finds it a bit... commercial. When asked what she thought about registering intellectual property, Babs said:
"I've never owned anything intellectual all my life. Or does a Kindle count?"
After all the excitement, Babs is fully back onto the Christmas jumpers! And no more TM nonsense now we've upgraded to ®!

Hi Babs
Great to see that you are going from strength to strength with your buisness, we know how hard it is ti keep on top of everything. Please do not fall into the trap that being registered will protect your designs it wont. Last year our designs were blatantly coppied by Primark and Top Shop, we look forward to see who steals our designs this year. We suppose that we must be doing something good for them to want to copy us. Unless you wish to spend thousands of pounds to take them to court and then loose we just have to grin and bear it. Any way more power to your ellbow and hope you have another great year, got to beat the cheap imports with quality products. Ah well back to the knitting.
Best regards
David
