Brand protection
Trade Marks
For most businesses, the brand is the most valuable asset they own. We clear, register and defend trade marks across the UK, the EU and internationally, protecting the names, logos and signs that set you apart. And we stay close to your case throughout.
How we help
Clearance searches
Before you commit, we check that your mark is genuinely free to use and register, so you don’t hit costly conflicts later.
Filing & prosecution
We prepare and file your application, then handle the examination process right through to registration.
Oppositions & defence
We oppose conflicting marks, and we defend your applications and registrations when they’re challenged.
Watching & renewals
We watch for infringing marks and keep your registrations renewed, so protection doesn’t lapse.
How we work
01
Understand
We get to know your business, your market and what matters most to protect.
02
Protect
We put the right rights in place, filed correctly and managed with care from the outset.
03
Maintain
We manage, renew and enforce your protection so it keeps working as you grow.
INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY
Protection that reaches where your business is going.
Protection rarely stops at one border. We plan international coverage as a single strategy, using the efficient central routes where they fit and direct national filings where they don’t, always framed around where your business is going next.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a trade mark last?
A UK or EU registration lasts ten years from filing and may be renewed indefinitely for further ten-year periods. Provided the mark remains in use, protection can be maintained without limit.
