Our EU trademark covers the UK, right?
Not any more. Since Brexit, EU trademark registrations no longer protect the UK, a separate UK right is required. Many US companies that filed an EUTM believing it covered 'Europe' are carrying an uninsured UK gap right now.
We haven't launched in the UK yet. Should we still file?
Yes, and early. The UK is first-to-file: the first applicant, not the first user, gets the superior right, with only limited passing-off protection for unregistered marks. File before you announce, not after.
We got a 'cloned' UK registration after Brexit. Are we covered?
Check it this year. Since 1 January 2026, cloned UK registrations face the normal genuine-use requirement, only use in the UK counts, and clones without it can be cancelled for non-use. A fixed-fee audit tells you where you stand.
Can you handle our US filings too?
US applications must be handled by a US-licensed attorney, foreign-domiciled applicants are required by the USPTO to appoint one. We work with US associate attorneys and route that side to them, so one relationship still covers the whole map.
Are you allowed to advise a US company?
Yes, on English, EU-route and international law, which is exactly what UK expansion needs, delivered remotely from London. We do not advise on US law and never hold out as US-admitted; your US counsel keeps that seat.
What does the market-entry bundle include?
UK trademark (one class), UK company incorporation with tailored articles, B2B or B2C terms & conditions, and your first UK employment contract, the four documents nearly every US entrant needs, at £1,950 against roughly £2,700 bought separately.
