The UK trade mark registry marks its 150th anniversary on 1 January 2026. The registry, which began with the first trade mark registration by brewer Bass & Co. on New Year’s Day 1876, now protects more than 2.5 million trade marks. To celebrate this milestone, the Intellectual Property Office has launched a poll asking the public to name the most iconic UK trade mark and explain what makes it stand out. Users can vote for their choice and share the poll on social media. The poll is open to all visitors of the GOV.UK site and is part of a broader effort to highlight the history and impact of trade mark protection in the United Kingdom.
