Sir Levi liked the name State Express very much, and he immediately registered the trademark State Express as soon as he returned to the UK. Data records indicate that this trademark was first registered in Ireland on March 10, 1896. After this, Sir Levi registered a series of numbers from 111 to 999 as another part of the product on February 18, 1907, which was combined into 9 different products.
