You can register your trade mark if it's distinctive, as in, it isn't descriptive of the kind of goods you want to register it in respect of. For example, you can't register cheese for cheese. You can also register your trade mark if it doesn't conflict with earlier trade mark registrations of other people. You might have difficulties registering, for example, Coca-Cola for a soft drink, or something like that.
