“My favourite Trade Mark registration is UK Trade Mark Registration number 2330428 in the name of Gnomes and Garden Limited and is for the mark GNOMEO AND JULIET registered for inter alia “garden gnomes” in Class 21.
I saw it in the Trade Marks Journal in November 2003 and whilst I don’t have any connection with the registrant, GNOMEO AND JULIET has stuck with me as an example of interesting and clever Trade Mark”.
