Brand Registry Rejected
Hello people. I have had a brand registry application rejected because 'we have identified the trademark from your application as related to a brand that is already enrolled in Brand Registry.'
I own the trademark on UKIPO.
There are two other trademarks with the same name however they are in a different class and not related to mine on the UKIPO.
I have replied to Amazon explaining that I own the trademark in this particular class and therefore I should be able to protect my brand and products however they responded with the same reply.
What are my next steps?

Who had the name first? You or one of the other 2 companies?
I think regardless of class it's bit difficult to protect a brand name that already exists. I can't use Nike to sell hot tubs for example, and expect it to brand protected. I think the protection is more about the brand name rather than the class or area of business.
But I could be wrong.

Hey there @Seller_u2PSbhNx5UhwB,
Have you appealed against the decision?
