Oasis Retailer Formally Opposes Gallaghers’ UK Trademark Bid for Band Logo

The Gallaghers have engaged IP firm Beck Greener to defend the filing.

Overview

  • The online fashion brand says the black‑and‑white band logo is identical to its own and has filed a formal objection at the UK Intellectual Property Office.
  • The retailer argues the application would give the band an unfair advantage by free‑riding on its trademark’s reputation, according to objection language reported by multiple outlets.
  • The band’s application, lodged earlier this year, seeks protection to use the logo on clothing, toys, cosmetics and jewellery.
  • The dispute sits in the IPO opposition and mediation process, with a tribunal possible if no resolution is reached, as reported by The Sun citing a source.
  • Oasis the retailer launched in 1991 and moved online‑only after a 2020 sale to Debenhams, while the band’s reunion tour continues with substantial merchandise plans and revenue estimates reported by industry analysts.
