Brand History & Trademark Analysis
Yale has been registered in the UK for locks, padlocks, and metal security hardware since the nineteenth century. The brand traces to Linus Yale Jr.'s invention of the modern pin tumbler lock in the 1860s. The UK operation was established in the Victorian era and the mark became so dominant that 'Yale lock' became generic shorthand for cylinder locks across Britain.
