This allows you..

Important
Note:
If you carry on your business with an unregistered trademark or design,
you run the risk of losing your right to continue to use your mark or
design when someone else registers a mark or design identical or similar
to yours. Regaining your right to the use of your own business name
then becomes a difficult and expensive affair.
