Trademark Advice Without The Legal Jargon

Legal Access Limited is a London-based trademark consultancy. We handle UK trademark applications from the first search through to registration, and we explain each stage in plain English so you always know where your application stands.

Most refusals happen for reasons that a proper search would have caught. That is why every application we file begins with a check of the UK register, so you find out about a conflict before you have paid a filing fee, not months afterwards.

Availability

You get a named contact rather than a ticket number, and a straight answer to any question about your application while it is with the UKIPO.

Accuracy

Class selection and goods wording decide how much protection you actually get. We draft both carefully, because a vague specification is the most common cause of delay.

Approval

If an examination report comes back with objections, we tell you honestly what your options are and draft the response on your behalf.

Aftercare

A UK registration lasts ten years. We watch the two-month opposition window for you and remind you well before your renewal falls due.

Two Services, Done Properly

We deliberately do two things rather than ten. Search first, so you know what you are walking into, then file an application built on what that search found. Both are fixed fee, quoted before we start, with no hourly billing and no surprises once the work is under way.

How A UK Application Works

Tell Us What You Trade As

Send us the name, logo or strapline you want to protect, plus a short description of what you sell. That is enough for us to identify the right classes.

We Search The Register

We check the UK register for identical and similar marks, then tell you honestly whether the application is worth filing before you commit to a fee.

We File And See It Through

Your application is filed with the UKIPO in your name. We handle the examination report, the opposition window and the registration certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

It gives you the exclusive right to use that name, logo or strapline for the goods and services you registered it against, throughout the United Kingdom. That means you can object when another business adopts something confusingly similar, and the registration itself becomes an asset you can licence or sell. Without one you are left relying on passing off, which is considerably harder and more expensive to prove.
There are two separate costs. The first is our fee, which starts at £199 and is fixed and quoted before any work begins. The second is the UK Intellectual Property Office application fee, which you pay to the IPO itself — at the time of writing that is £170 for a standard online application covering one class, plus £50 for each additional class. We confirm the current figures and the full total in writing before you commit to anything.
Usually not, if that business is using it for the same or similar goods and services. This is precisely what a search is for. If we find an earlier identical or similar mark we will tell you before you file rather than after, and we will set out your realistic options — which may include narrowing your specification, filing in a different class, or choosing a different name altogether.
You receive an examination report setting out the objection and a period in which to respond. Objections are common and a great many of them are answerable with the right argument or evidence. We draft that response on your behalf. If we genuinely think an application cannot be saved, we will say so plainly rather than bill you for correspondence that is going nowhere.
No, and this catches a lot of business owners out. Registering a company only prevents someone else registering an identical company name at Companies House. It does not stop another business trading under your name, and it gives you no right to object when they do. Only a registered trademark provides that.
