Liverpool have submitted an application to trademark the Melwood name after a deal to buy back the former training ground was sealed earlier this year.
The Reds have applied to the UK Government’s Intellectual Property Office this month to trademark the name, invoking seven classes from clothing and merchandise to online services and entertainment that may seek to use the name of the iconic Liverpool asset.
In June the Reds rubber stamped a £13m deal to buy back the Melwood site to house its thriving women’s team and academy, as well as providing an additional site for the LFC Foundation. It was described by Reds managing director Andy Hughes as a 'truly historic moment'.
