Ipswich Town is in the process of registering various versions of its name as trademarks, covering a large range of products.

The club, which has previously trademarked the current badge and is seeking to renew one on the old pre-1995 crest, has registered Ipswich Town and ITFC and is currently registering Ipswich Town FC.

The four classes of goods covered by the trademarks relate to a huge range of printed matter, domestic utensils and containers, textile articles and clothing.

Registering a trademark is a standard process which allows a company, organisation or individual to protect their brand, take action against anyone who uses it without permission and to sell and license it.

ThatMuhrenCross added 11:38 - Jun 7 @thatdamgood89 - I wonder if they're also trademarking "Route One", "Free Transfer" and "Mid-Table" - could make a fortune suing companies that use those words in any coverage of the current team!
