My intention was for Balloonz to trademark it and therefore own it,
currently copyright on the BOHL text is with iTechnic Ltd (i.e. me). It
probably makes sense for the two to have the same ownership. Thoughts
anyone?

I would like the BOHL to have a much wider use than just Balloonz products.

It would provide a means of stopping someone using the logo without applying
the BOHL to the product, trade marking it means we can make the logo "go
with" the license. (as well as make and sell BOHL tee-shirts.....)
