the marks live here use is controlled
Sealed enough to protect.
Names, marks, drawing-system trade dress and preview-access language are protected brand assets.
The register on this page is a public-facing map, not a complete legal schedule. Formal application numbers, class schedules, prosecution correspondence, clearance memoranda and opposition-watch notes are disclosed only through counsel or reviewer access. Use without written permission is not authorised.
Five marks. Each does a specific job.
BlackMenta
The corporate mark. Used as written: one word, capital B, capital M. The IP holding entity sits behind it. Sheet 02 sets the status; Sheet 03 sets the territory.
See brand markEventPaws
The operating-system thesis. Reserved for licensed surfaces. Public use requires context and approval. Operator-track route, not a venue brand.
See project markMenta
The controlled assistant surface. Tied to the voice doctrine on /voice. Not a legal, financial or investment adviser; the mark reflects the boundary.
See voice doctrineDrawing system
Drawing-sheet interface language, dark technical trade dress, preview-access language and controlled page architecture — treated as protected brand assets, not aesthetic preference.

Trademark questions, licence enquiries, formal IP correspondence, takedown referrals and counsel routing. The named lane on this page.

Logo-use checks, publication context, source verification and approved-wording confirmation for editorial work.
press@ → TR.03 security / abusesecurity@
Phishing, malicious domains, credential harvesting, spoofed preview pages and abuse infrastructure that misuse the marks. Same SLA as vulnerability reports.

Reviewer or opposing counsel access to filing detail, prosecution status, opposition watch and the full schedule. Verified parties only, NDA where required.

Four words. Four meanings. Treating them as synonyms is the most common cause of trademark misstatement on a startup site — and the easiest correction. If a mark is not yet registered, the ® symbol does not belong on it.
Protection is territorial. So is the register.
A trademark protects what is filed where it is filed. UK and EU protection are not the same right; international expansion is a counsel-led plan, not a checkbox. The register tells you who owns what, in which territory, on which date.
United Kingdom route
UK mark searches, applications and records are handled through the UK Intellectual Property Office. The UK route protects only the UK and Isle of Man unless other protection is pursued separately.
European Union route
EU-level filings are handled through EUIPO. Filing strategy, class coverage and publication/opposition timing should be counsel-led before public reliance.
Additional territories
Switzerland, Estonia, international expansion and partner territories may require separate filings, local searches, licence language and enforcement routing.
Classes belong in counsel review, not hype copy.
Formal class schedules should be matched to actual and intended use. The four public categories below are deliberately high level; they are not a final NICE classification and should not be copied into any application without qualified trademark counsel review.
Reference is possible. Brand use is not automatic.
Five rows mark the line between editorial reference (usually fine), logo and visual reuse (request first) and impersonation or partnership claims (prohibited). The same line that runs through /brand sheet 06 — restated here for the trademark perimeter.
Licences move through paper, not vibes.
A trademark licence without scope, territory, quality control and termination is not a licence; it is a future dispute. The three rules below set how marks may be carried out of the holding entity into operating use, partner use and partner-of-partner use.
Operating entity
Any future operating company should use marks only under an arms-length written licence, with scope, territory, quality control, fees and termination rights defined.
Partner use
Venue, promoter, crew, counsel, security, capital or media partners require explicit written permission before public logo or “official” status use.
No uncontrolled licence
Trademark licences should include quality-control obligations so the mark remains tied to a consistent standard, not merely copied by affiliation.
Confusion gets routed. Fast.
Send potential misuse, impersonation, phishing, domain squatting, fake token activity, counterfeit materials or confusing commercial use to legal@blackmenta.com. Security abuse may also be copied to security@blackmenta.com. Evidence beats indignation.
Trademark misuse
Confusing use, fake partnership claims, infringing domain names, impersonation, brand counterfeiting and visual passing-off. The first lane.
Phishing / abuse
Phishing, malicious domains, credential harvesting, spoofed preview pages and abuse infrastructure. Same SLA as the security policy.
Logo-use checks
Media questions, logo-use checks, publication context and source verification. Editorial-side queries before publication.
Filing detail and prosecution status are gated.
This page is the public mark register. Application numbers, full class schedules, prosecution correspondence, clearance memoranda, opposition watch and counsel notes are released through auth.blackmenta.com — to opposing counsel, verified reviewers and diligence parties under appropriate disclosure terms.
The public law route is verifiable.
Four official sources verify the bracket this register sits inside. Each link goes to the primary government or institutional route — not to a curated explainer or a paid summary.
Notes.
- N.01 Register wins. Where this page disagrees with UKIPO or EUIPO public records, the relevant register prevails. The page is a map; the register is the title. → see Sheet 08 · sources
- N.02 Symbols match status. ® only on registered marks in the relevant territory. ™ or ™™ (TM) for unregistered claimed marks. No symbol is fine; the wrong symbol is a representation. → see Sheet 02 · 02.3
- N.03 Renewal cadence. UK and EU trade marks must be renewed every 10 years to stay in force. Renewal is operational, not branding — missed renewal forfeits the mark. → see Sheet 08 · 08.1
- N.04 Draft status. Public brand-boundary draft, not legal advice and not a complete trademark schedule. Reviewed by qualified IP counsel before publication as final legal text. → see signature block
- N.05 Misuse reports with evidence: legal@blackmenta.com. Phishing/abuse: security@blackmenta.com.
