A qualified solicitor files your application with the UK Intellectual Property Office. Not a bot, not a form-filling factory. Personal service, fixed price, search guarantee.
All prices exclude VAT (we are not VAT-registered). UKIPO fees are government charges paid directly to the registry.
Submit your brand name. We search the UKIPO register for conflicts and advise on the right classes. No charge, no obligation.
Once approved, we draft and file your application with the UKIPO within 48 hours. You receive your application number by email.
We handle UKIPO examination, respond to standard objections at no extra cost, and guide you through the 2-month opposition period.
Every application has a real solicitor's name on it.
For one class: £405 total (£200 professional fee + £205 UKIPO government fee). Each additional class adds £125 (professional) + £60 (UKIPO). UKIPO fees increased from £170 to £205 on 1 April 2026. These are statutory government charges set by the Intellectual Property Office. Our professional fee is fixed and inclusive of standard objection replies.
If we advise you to proceed with filing and the UKIPO later refuses your trademark because of a conflicting earlier mark that our preliminary search should have identified, we refund our professional fee less a £50 administration charge to cover the search and advisory work already completed. UKIPO government fees are non-refundable as they are paid directly to the registry. This guarantee reflects our confidence in the thoroughness of our search. Most refusals relate to distinctiveness under section 3 of the Trade Marks Act 1994, not prior conflicts, which we flag before filing.
We file within 48 hours of receiving instructions and payment. The UKIPO examines your application within 2–4 weeks, then publishes it for a 2-month opposition period. If no one opposes, your trademark is registered — typically 3–4 months total.
Standard objections (classification, specification amendments, formality queries) are handled at no extra cost. If the UKIPO raises a substantive distinctiveness objection under section 3 of the Trade Marks Act 1994, we advise on options and quote for additional work before proceeding.
Yes, you can file directly with the UKIPO for £205 (single class, online). However, if you select the wrong class, miss a conflicting mark, or draft a weak goods and services specification, the application may be refused and the fee is non-refundable. Our professional fee covers the expertise to maximise your chances of registration first time.
