If you’re planning to do business in the United Kingdom, protecting your brand is a smart first step. A registered trademark helps secure your business name, logo, slogan, or product identity so that no one else can use something similar. At Trademark Angel, we help you register your trademark in the UK quickly and without confusion.

A UK trademark is a legal right that gives you ownership over the mark you’ve registered. This could be a word, symbol, image, or combination that sets your goods or services apart from others. Once your trademark is registered, you can stop others from using something similar in the UK.

Why Register a Trademark in the UK?

By registering your trademark in the UK, you are ensuring that no other UK company can apply the same brand to your industry or a similar one that is confusing to customers. It increases customer confidence and makes your brand develop securely. You can use the © mark only after your registration. The world knows that your brand is secured through that symbol.
The duration of a UK trademark license is 10 years, with the possibility of renewing the license after every 10 years. It is a long-term method to safeguard the identity of your business.

What You Can Register

You can register a trademark in the UK for names, phrases, logos, colour patterns, sounds, or a mix of these. It should be unique and not too general or descriptive. For example, you can’t register the word “milk” for a dairy product. Your mark also can’t include national flags, offensive content, or existing trademarks.

United Kingdom Trademark Application: How It Works

The trademark application UK process begins with choosing a strong and clear mark. We help you check if a similar trademark already exists through our free trademark search. After that, we help you select the right class or classes based on the goods or services you want to cover. There are 45 trademark classes in total — 34 for products and 11 for services.

You apply to the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO). The IPO reviews your application and publishes it online. If no one objects within two months, your trademark will be registered. If someone does raise a concern, you’ll have the chance to respond or fix the issue.
