A registered trademark is what turns a name you use into a name you own. Legal Access Limited prepares and files your application with the UK Intellectual Property Office, so your business name, logo or strapline is protected across the United Kingdom without the paperwork landing on your desk.
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.
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.
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.
If an examination report comes back with objections, we tell you honestly what your options are and draft the response on your behalf.
A UK registration lasts ten years. We watch the two-month opposition window for you and remind you well before your renewal falls due.
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.
Avoid conflicts and ensure your trademark is unique with our thorough search services.
*(UKIPO application fee is payable separately)
Trademark work is detail work. The class you file in, the wording of your specification and the evidence you hold all decide whether your mark survives a challenge. These are the four things we hold ourselves to on every file we take on.
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 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.
Your application is filed with the UKIPO in your name. We handle the examination report, the opposition window and the registration certificate.
