No, but the ‘U&’ prefix could certainly be trademarked. If other channels did try to go for a similar soundalike brand, it becomes a bit of a grey area, rather like Aldi and Lidl’s lookalike packaging, and I would have thought could be contested in court if it came to it, just as ITV probably would if someone launched a channel called ‘Eye TV’.
