The company filed an application with the Intellectual Property Office for “Universal United Kingdom Resort” on September 8.
This follows the naming pattern seen at other international locations.
Universal confirmed in April its intention to build a UK resort in Kempston Hardwick, near Bedford.
In its trademark application, the firm said the name was tied to amusement park services and hotels.
It can also be used on merchandise such as books, bags, clothing, and toys.
Until now, it was unclear whether the name would include Bedford, England, or Europe.
In August, Universal also applied to use “Universal Studios Grand Hotel” in connection with entertainment services, hotels, and restaurants, according to the BBC.
The firm is currently waiting for government approval to proceed with the proposed theme park.
The firm expects to create 8,050 jobs when the park opens in 2031.
That figure could rise to 12,465 by 2051, factoring in roles in accommodation such as hotels.
Construction is expected to employ a peak of 5,380 workers on site.
The theme park, which is part of a larger entertainment resort complex (ERC), will be located within the ‘Core Zone’.
The ‘West Gateway Zone’ and ‘Lake Zone’ will supplement the park with various entertainment and recreational uses.
The ‘East Gateway Zone’ is designated for transport infrastructure, including a new, expanded Wixams Railway Station.
The ‘West Gateway Zone’ will also include a highway service area.
The park, expected to open in 2031, is part of a major agreement between Universal, the government, and the local council.
The plans, announced by the Prime Minister in April, are aimed at boosting the local economy, creating jobs, and enhancing the UK’s creative industries.
The Prime Minister said: “It’s going to put Bedford on the map for millions of people – film lovers, people coming here for fun, people building their careers here.”
