Trademark Registration Filed

Not much has been released about the new charity. According to People magazine, the trademark application refers to various items, which include fundraising, clothing, social care services, education and booklets. What this means is that they can sell items and they can also sue anyone who uses their logo, trademark or charity name without their prior approval. It is a way to protect the foundation, its patrons and the people who donate or benefit from its proceeds.

More information should become available in the next few months as the Royal Family prepares for some exciting announcements for 2020.
