Hi James,I think there are at least two good ways to think about this.First: why is the UK leaving in the first place?It certainly isn’t for economic benefits. As the inestimable Chris Le Carlin points out here:The simple reality is that a net benefit of between 4%–5% of our GDP is derived from being a member of the EU. This equates to a tangible economic benefit of £62 billion to £78 billion a year. In relative terms, the UK currently derives between +660% to +830% return on its contribution to the EU.On the other hand, the anticipated benefit from a US Free Trade deal post-Brexit would boost UK GDP by 0.2% after 15 years, according to a 2018 cross-Whitehall study. [1]*Additionally, as noted in the comments by Eamon, even this US trade deal is not at all guaranteed. Nancy Pelosi has made clear that there will be no US/UK trade deal if there is a hard border on the island of Ireland.It’s likely - according to all rational analysis - that Brexit will damage the UK economy. In fact, it already has. It has cost the UK roughly stg800m a week according to the Bank of England. Note this is not a forecast, it’s an assessment of the current impact.[2] S&P estimates it a little lower at stg6.6b a quarter.[3] Still not chump change.So, there is already evidence of a negative economic effect. Let’s put a pin in this and come back to it.Johnson post the Economic analysis presentationThere is also an increased risk of a return to violence in Northern Ireland. I know Brexity types like to dismiss this, and Northern Ireland wasn’t exactly central to considerations during your referendum. Warnings, however, have now come from just about everywhere including the PSNI Chief Constable[4] , the head of the PSNI counter-terrorism unit[5] , Independent Unionist MP Lady Hermon [6] , former Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland[7] .Johnson when he remembers Northern Ireland existsBut let’s assume that it’s not economics or peace that Brexit is worried about. It’s freedom and democracy and the will of the people right? Right… ok. We’ll come back to this.A second consideration - is this actually possible? Could the UK leave the EU, and rejoin later with all the same benefits and stature?Almost certainly not. You can’t step in the same river twice.The UK currently enjoys opt-outs and special arrangements in several different EU areas.One major one you’ll be aware of it the Economic and Monetary Union. Except for the UK and Denmark who negotiated opt-outs, all EU member states have either adopted the euro or are legally bound to do so. All new member states, of which the UK would be one, need to commit to adopting the euro.Another example is the famous rebate. This reduces the contribution that the UK makes to the EU budget by roughly two thirds. It’s an arrangement negotiated in 1984 by Margaret Thatcher and requires the unanimous support of all EU member states to renew every 7 years. It may be difficult to get it agreed by everyone again if the UK was rejoining.Also, the application process can be quite lengthy. Turkey issued its formal application to join in 1987[8] and still hasn’t been included (despite the scare stories during the UK EU referendum campaign). I’m sure the UK wouldn’t take quite as long as that, but it certainly would require negotiations that could take a lot of time.Johnson asking to come back in, pleaseSo, if the UK leaves you won’t be able to come back on the same terms, and you may not be able to come back quickly.In fact, re-entry requires the unanimous approval of all member states. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that UK membership would be vetoed by someone, after the Brexit omnishambles.So, let’s recap.Significant economic harm of Brexit and the real threat of re-igniting the Troubles in Northern Ireland plus….… no way back if you change your mind.It certainly seems to me you should make your mind up first. Be really really sure that you’d like to leave.And also - because it’s so important to the Brexit supporters - to make sure that the particular form of Brexit proposed is still what the UK electorate wants to do.All in all, I think this is an excellent case for a confirmatory referendum.There’s absolutely no reason not to ask the electorate again, is there? Given the huge consequences and given it will be impossible to ‘take back’ the decision once the UK leaves.It’s not like Brexit-supporting folk would be scared the UK electorate may have changed their minds and decided ‘remain’ would be better - because they’re so invested in the ‘will of the people.’That principle isn’t just ‘the will of the people who agreed with me in 2016’ is it? That wouldn’t really be democratic at all….Footnotes[1] Subscribe to read | Financial Times[2] Brexit costing Britain £800m a week, warns Bank of England[3] Brexit - UK loses £6.6 billion a quarter since referendum, S&P says[4] Hard Brexit would put officers' lives at risk, says Northern Ireland police chief[5] No-deal Brexit 'could motivate extremists in Northern Ireland'[6] 'Greater dissident republican violence' if no deal[7] In Brexit talks, Belfast loyalists see risk of return to violence[8] Accession of Turkey to the European Union - Wikipedia

The whole procedure generally takes around 3-4 weeks.Trademark or Logo Registration:Trademark registration of a brand name means nothing but brand name registration. It basically means, “this brand name is ours! And if you dare to use it to sell your products, we can sue you!”In India, you can trademark any of the following or even a combination of these things:Letter, Number, Word, Phrase, Logo, Graphic, Smell, Sound Mark or a Combination of Colors.Step 1: Search for a “quirky” brand nameYou get the point, don’t you? Come up with a whacky and quirky brand name, because all the generic ones are generally taken. Before zeroing in on one name, you might want to do a quick search to make sure that no one else is already using the name.Step 2: Making the trademark applicationNow that your name is finalized upon, fill in the trademark application i.e. Form- TM 1. The application costs INR 3500 (varies) and is a one time fee.Along with the application, you will need to submit a couple of supporting documents:A Business registration concern: Depending on what type of a registered business you have, say sole proprietorship, etc. you will need to submit an identity proof of the directors of the company and an address proof.An image of your brand logo in a standard size of 9 x 5 cmsIf applicable, proof of claim of the proposed mark being used before in another country.Step 3: Filling the brand name registration applicationThere are 2 ways to file the registration – manual filing or e-filling.In case of manual filing, you will need to personally walk down and submit the application for registration to any one of the offices of the Registrar of Trade Marks located in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad. After which you receive the acknowledgement of the application and the receipt, usually within 15-20 days of the filing.But in e-filing system, the acknowledgement of the application is issued immediately.And after you receive the acknowledgement, you can start using the (TM) symbol next to the brand name!Step 4: Examining the brand name registration applicationAfter receiving the application, the Registrar checks whether the brand name complies with the law and does not conflict or dispute with other existing registered or pending brands. That’s why we said, quirky brand name, people!Step 5: Publication in the Indian Trade Mark JournalsAfter examination, the logo or brand name is published in the Indian Trade Mark Journal.Step 6: Issuance of the trademark registration certificateIf no one raises any opposition, within the stipulated 90 days period, the Registrar accepts the trademark application! Woohoo! And issues a Certificate of Registration under the seal of Trademark Registry.You may now be allowed to use the registered trademark symbol (®) next to your brand name, once the certificate has been issued.The whole process of registration of a brand name usually takes anything between 15-18 months. The trademark once accepted, is valid for a period of 10 years from the date of issuance of the Certificate of Registration. After the end of 10 years, the trademark will need to be renewed.Although the process of registering a trademark is lengthy and a little heavy on the pocket, it is definitely worth the investment of legally protecting your brand. However, if you are just starting out, investing in a trademark may not be absolutely essential.References:http://www.legalserviceindia.com/company%20law/company_formation_procedure.htmhttp://www.incometaxindiapr.gov.in/incometaxindiacr/ppt_html20081017/TDSTutorial/TDStrial12.html4 Steps to Register your Startup in Indiahttp://blog.abhyankarcs.com/company-formation-in-india/questions-procedure-company-registration-in-india-faqs/http://www.mca.gov.in/MCA21/certifying-new.htmlLogo RegistrationHow to register a trademark? - The Times of IndiaGuide: How to Register Trademark For Your Brand in India
