TODAY’S TRADEMARK – WINSOR & NEWTON

Winsor & Newton is an English manufacturing company based in London that produces a wide variety of  fine art products,including acrylics, oils, watercolour, gouache, brushes, canvases, papers, inks, graphite and coloured pencils, markers, and charcoals. The company was founded in 1832 by William Winsor and Henry Newton. The firm was originally located at Henry Newton’s home in 38 Rathbone Place, London. This was then part of an artists’ quarter in which a number of eminent painters, including Constable, had studios, and other colourmen were already established. The company moved to Wealdstone in northwest London in 1937. After World War II, W&N opened a brush-making factory in Lowestoft. In 1970, the company introduced its first range of acrylics, and the first artists’ alkyd oil colour came six years later. Later, in 1992, a series of oil bars were launched.

The trademark of this company was registered in USPTO bearing registration number 1140150 on October 7, 1980.
