There seems no benefit in form or fee in a personal registration. If anything, it's more expensive because there's a GBP50 transfer fee. I suspect the agent made a mistake. Even so, OSMF only has until 15 December to file a TM7a (free) and then until 15 January to oppose a misregistration (GBP 200). > Does > anybody here really think that the foundation's chairman would snatch > the trademark away from his own organization? [...] It wouldn't be the first time, but I expect it was a mistake.
