UK Trademark Registration
ย
Registering a trademark in the UK is the first step a UK based business needs to take to secure exclusive rights in its brand name, logo or slogan. That becomes a business asset that grows in value over time.ย
A registered trademark gives you the legal foundation to own your brand. It puts others on notice that your name, logo or slogan is taken, makes it far easier to stop copycats and infringers, and creates an asset you can licence or sell. Without it, your brand identity is vulnerable โ no matter how long you have been trading or how well known you are.
ย
What We Do
We handle the full trademark registration process for you โ from initial searches through to registration and beyond. That includes:
- Trademark searching and assessment of the name to determine whether your chosen name, logo or slogan is available and registrable
- Advice on the strength of your mark and how to maximise protection
- Selecting the right trademark classes for your goods and services
- Filing your application with the UK Intellectual Property Office
- Managing any objections raised by the registry
- Renewing your trademark every ten years to keep protection in place
ย
What Can Be Registered
Names, logos, slogans, shapes, colours and even sounds can all qualify as trademarks โ provided they are distinctive enough to identify your business as the source of your goods or services. We will tell you honestly whether what you have chosen is registrable, and what your options are if it is not.
ย
Brand Protection
Once your trademark is registered, we can put in place an ongoing monitoring service to alert you if a conflicting mark is applied for. Catching a problem early โ at the application stage โ is far less costly than dealing with infringement after the fact
