Filing in UK
The rules that change how we search, draft and file for you. We handle every one of them.
Existing EUTMs registered before 31 December 2020 were automatically cloned into UK registrations, but every EUTM filed after that date covers only the 27 EU member states. To protect the UK market, you need a separate UKIPO filing.
A registered UK trade mark is the basis for a UK Customs Application for Action, letting Border Force seize counterfeits at every UK port and airport.
Use your UKIPO registration as the basing application to extend protection to 130+ Madrid countries in one filing, including the EU as a single Madrid designation.
UK courts grant interim injunctions quickly and award costs to the winner. A registered UK mark gives you statutory presumption of validity and access to summary procedures.
Your attorney runs the check, the drafting and every letter from the UKIPO with you, from the first search to the certificate and the renewal ten years on.

Before you file
An earlier identical or similar UK mark (or earlier EUTM cloned into a UK comparable mark) covers identical or similar goods. A pre-filing UKIPO + UK common-law search catches this before you spend £205.
The mark cannot identify your goods or services as coming from one undertaking. Counsel argues acquired distinctiveness with use evidence, or refines the specification.
The mark describes a kind, quality, intended purpose, or geographical origin in plain English. UKIPO examiners are strict here. Your attorney drafts to clear this bar.
Includes deceptive marks, marks contrary to public policy, and marks containing protected royal or national symbols. We screen for these at intake.
