Why should I apply for a trade mark registration? A trade mark uniquely identifies your products or services to your customers. Registering a trade mark means you can take legal action against anyone who uses your mark without your permission, including counterfeiters. You can also use the ® symbol next to your mark, which warns others against using your trade mark without your authorisation, and you can sell and license your mark.

Applying for a trade mark with Trademarkia costs £249 plus government fees, which are £170 for the first class and £50 for each additional class.

First, an application is filed with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO), where it is examined for compliance and potential conflicts. If accepted, your trade mark is published for opposition for two months to allow objections from third parties. If no objections arise or if a dispute is resolved, the UKIPO grants registration and a certificate is issued. The entire process typically takes 4-6 months, and a trade mark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.
