Your UK trade mark might be a word, a set of words, words with fancy lettering, pictures, shapes, gesture or even a smell. Trademarkroom will register your trade mark with the government, giving you the sole right to use something similar for the goods or services you choose.
The government body responsible for registration of trade marks in the UK is the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (the 'UK IPO'). Trademarkroom handles all correspondence and dealings for you in a professional, efficient and friendly manner - to make getting a UK trade mark easy and hassle-free.
Because we typically turn a search around in 24 hours we always suggest conducting a proper search of previous applications, before committing money to an application of your own. Trademarkroom uses experienced searchers not computers. We search for previous filings that are the same or similar in relation to the same or similar goods and services. And give you advice on whether the UK IPO is likely to be concerned about a likelihood of confusion.
A trademarkroom search also gives you advice on whether there are likely to be so-called ‘absolute’ objections to registration of your trade mark. This is when a trade mark is too descriptive, not distinctive, offensive etc.
We will also help decide what sort of cover you need from your trade mark protection.
