MORE THAN A COMPANY NAME

Your company name does not automatically protect your brand

Companies House registration and trade mark registration are different. A UK trade mark can give its owner exclusive rights to use the protected sign for the goods and services covered by the registration.

We coordinate the administrative filing process: searching the register, helping define the relevant classes, preparing the specification and tracking the application. UKIPO makes the final decision.

HOW IT WORKS

From brand idea to application

A trade mark application is public once filed and cannot simply be broadened later, so preparation matters.

01

Tell us the brand

Choose a package and describe the name, logo, products and services you want to protect.

02

Search and classify

We review the UK register and help identify the relevant Nice classes and wording.

03

Approve and file

You approve the applicant, mark and specification before the online UKIPO submission.

04

Examination and publication

UKIPO examines the application. If accepted, it is published for a two-month opposition period.

WHAT TO PREPARE

Information we need

  • The exact word, phrase or logo
  • Applicant’s legal name and address
  • A plain description of goods and services
  • Countries and markets where the brand is used
  • Any launch date or existing commercial use
  • Known similar brands or previous disputes

What happens after filing?

UKIPO examines the application and searches for earlier marks. If issues are raised, there is usually an opportunity to respond. Accepted applications are published in the Trade Marks Journal for two months so third parties can oppose. If no opposition succeeds, UKIPO registers the mark.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you apply

Can a non-UK resident own a UK trade mark?

Yes. An overseas individual or company can apply, although UKIPO correspondence and representation requirements may depend on the applicant’s circumstances.

Does the £205 fee include every class?

No. It covers one class in a standard online application. Each extra class adds £60 to the official fee.

How long does registration take?

Timing varies. Even a straightforward application must pass examination and the two-month publication period. Objections or opposition make the process longer.

Should I register a word or a logo?

A word mark and a logo protect different things. A word mark is often broader for the name itself; a logo filing protects the graphic representation submitted. Some brands file both separately.

Can you guarantee there is no conflict?

No search can guarantee that. Similarity, reputation, unregistered rights and the exact goods or services can all affect risk.

What is not included?

Complex objections, oppositions, hearings, overseas filings and specialist legal opinions are outside the displayed package unless separately agreed.
