Because anyone can claim expertise, and almost nobody can point to a published contested win. Decision O/1132/25, a defence run against a specialist national IP firm and won outright with costs, is verifiable on the UKIPO register, not a testimonial.
Invalidation says the registration should never have been granted (earlier rights, bad faith); revocation says it should no longer stand (typically five years of non-use). Which weapon fits your situation is part of the free review, and since January 2026 the non-use route also reaches Brexit-cloned registrations without genuine UK use.
Typically twelve to eighteen months to decision if fully fought, though many settle at the evidence stage once relative strength becomes obvious. Costs orders at the UKIPO are modest scale costs, which is why fixed fees matter more here than in court litigation.
Yes, that is a core lane: UK address for service plus contentious representation for foreign firms' clients, at flat associate rates. See the law firms page or request the capability note.
