How fast can a UK trademark be filed? 48 hours, done properly.
There are two clocks on every trademark: the one you control, and the one you do not. Most providers are slow on the first and blame the second.
The clock you control: instruction to filing
Drafting a specification and filing at the UKIPO is days of work being sold as weeks. This practice files within 48 hours of instruction: conflict search first, specification drafted by a solicitor, application submitted. Your priority date, the date that decides who wins if someone files something similar, is secured that fast. Every day unfiled is a day someone else can get there first.
The clock you do not: UKIPO examination
After filing, the UKIPO examines the application and, if accepted, publishes it for a two-month opposition period before registration. No provider controls that timetable, and anyone implying otherwise is selling you weather. What a good adviser controls is arriving at examination with a specification drafted to pass it first time.
Fast is a discipline, not a rush
Speed here does not mean skipped checks; the free conflict search happens before anything is filed. It means no queue, no '3 to 5 business days' to hear back, and a practice built remote-first so the work starts the day you instruct. Written replies within 24 hours, filings in 48. The fee is £555 all-inclusive, fixed in writing first.
Every matter above is delivered at a fixed fee agreed in writing before you pay, with a written reply within 24 hours. Send your enquiry.
