Manufacturers’ association Made in Britain has raised concerns about Reform UK’s alleged unauthorized use of a logo very similar to its own.
In a statement, Made in Britain said it had become aware that Reform UK had used a logo in all marketing materials and merchandise that it believed was “substantially similar” to its registered trademark. The organization emphasized that no authorization, license or consent had been granted for such use.
Made in Britain stated that it takes a strictly neutral political stance and does not endorse, support or associate with any political party or movement. It added that use of its logo or similar insignia by political organizations was expressly prohibited under its rules.
The organization, which represents and promotes British manufacturers at home and abroad, said its branding was solely to support its members and promote British trade. Therefore, it does not allow its brand identity to be associated with political campaigns or messages.
The statement highlights growing sensitivity around branding, intellectual property and perceived political alignment as political parties increasingly use merchandise and visual identities as part of their campaign efforts.
