Trademark registration assistance
A registered trademark protects your brand name or logo for specific goods and services in a specific country or region. We help you run preliminary searches, choose the right classes, prepare the application and follow the examination stages. Where an office requires a locally licensed attorney, we coordinate with independent licensed professionals.
Who this service is for
- Private label sellers protecting a new brand.
- Sellers preparing for marketplace brand programmes that rely on a trademark.
- Businesses expanding a brand into new countries.
Support available
Preliminary search
We search official trademark databases for identical and similar marks before you file.
Class and specification
We help you choose classes under the Nice Classification and write a specification that describes your goods or services accurately.
Application preparation
We prepare the application for the office you choose, such as the USPTO, UKIPO, EUIPO or the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department.
Licensed representation where required
The USPTO requires applicants domiciled outside the United States to be represented by a US-licensed attorney. In such cases we coordinate with independent licensed attorneys.
Status tracking
We track the application and explain office actions and deadlines when they arrive.
Typical process
Share your brand
Tell us the name or logo, your products and target countries.
Preliminary search
We search for conflicting marks and share the findings.
Quotation
We confirm offices, classes and whether licensed representation is needed.
Filing
The application is prepared, approved by you and filed.
Examination
The office examines the application and may raise objections; timing is set by the office.
Outcome
If accepted and unopposed, the mark proceeds to registration.
Steps and timing depend on your circumstances and on the organisations involved. Your quotation sets out the agreed steps.
Information needed to start
To prepare an accurate quotation, it helps to have the following ready. Please do not send identity documents, bank details or passwords through the website.
- The brand name and/or logo
- Products or services the brand is used for
- Target countries or regions
- Whether the brand is already in use, and since when
Scope and exclusions to confirm
Your written quotation is the final word on what is included. These points are confirmed with every client:
- Official filing fees are government charges, confirmed in your quotation.
- We are not a law firm and do not give legal opinions. Licensed attorney fees are listed separately where needed.
- Registration is decided by the trademark office; no outcome is guaranteed.
- Responding to oppositions or complex office actions may need additional quoted work.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a trademark to sell on Amazon?
Not to sell. Amazon's Brand Registry programme relies on trademark applications or registrations in offices it supports. Check Amazon's current eligibility rules.
Which country should I register in first?
Usually the countries where you sell or plan to sell. Protection is territorial, so a US registration does not protect you in the UK.
How long does trademark registration take?
It varies by office and by whether objections are raised. We share the office's current published information rather than a fixed promise.
Can you guarantee my trademark will be registered?
No. The trademark office decides, and third parties may oppose. A good search lowers the risk but cannot remove it.
Do you provide legal representation?
No. Where representation is required, we coordinate with independent licensed attorneys and say so in your quotation.
