You would protect your brand name by getting a trade mark. See https://www.gov.uk/topic/intellectual-property/trade-marks

Your web site is copyright as soon as you create it. It might help (but is not required) to put a copyright symbol (a 'c' enclosed in a circle -- i.e. © ) on it.

If u register a trademark for a name is it protected globally or just in UK?
