Trademark Protection Notice

A Bandname registration helps establish public evidence of prior usage within our audit trail, visibility to the music industry and goodwill associated with your chosen name. However, it is not trademark registration and does not provide the same legal protections as registering a trademark with an official intellectual property office.

If you wish to obtain trademark protection for your band or artist name, we strongly recommend registering your trademark through the appropriate government authority in the territories where you intend to trade, perform, release music, or sell merchandise. The cost of trademark registration can vary considerably. Typically between 300 USD and 1500 USD, not including legal fees.

Official trademark registration portals include:

United Kingdom: UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)
United States: United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
European Union: European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)
International Protection (multiple countries): WIPO Madrid System
