Can registration be guaranteed?
No. An examiner may object and a third party may oppose. The preliminary review is intended to identify obvious concerns and help the applicant decide whether to proceed.
Does an EU trade mark include the UK?
No. New UK and EU protection generally requires separate applications.
What is a trade mark class?
Classes group goods and services. Protection is determined by the wording accepted in the registration, not merely the class number.
What if an objection or opposition arises?
We explain the issue and provide a separate estimate. Additional work is not undertaken without authority.
When are official fees refundable?
Official fees are generally non-refundable once an application has been filed.
How can I pay?
You can pay for the UK, EU or combined package securely online. If you are unsure which service applies, request an assessment first. Invoice or bank transfer may also be arranged.
