Who We Are

Legal Access Limited is a trademark consultancy based at 124-128 City Road in London. We work on one thing: getting UK businesses onto the trademark register and keeping them there. That narrow focus is deliberate — it means the person handling your application does this every day rather than occasionally.

Our clients are mostly owner-run businesses: shops, studios, consultancies and online sellers who have built something under a name and want to be certain that name is theirs. We are not a law firm and we do not pretend to be one; where a matter needs a solicitor, we will tell you.

How We Charge

Every package on this site is a fixed fee, quoted before any work starts. The UK Intellectual Property Office charges its own application fee on top, payable directly to the IPO, and we tell you that figure in writing so you can see the full cost before you decide.

We do not bill by the hour and we do not charge for the conversation that decides whether you should file at all. If a search shows your name is not worth pursuing, that is a useful answer and you will not be invoiced for hearing it.

Why Businesses Choose Us

Trademark work is detail work. The class you file in, the wording of your specification and the evidence you hold all decide whether a mark survives a challenge. These are the four commitments we hold ourselves to on every file.

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. You can object when another business adopts something confusingly similar, and the registration becomes an asset you can licence or sell. Without one you are relying on passing off, which is far harder and more expensive to prove.
Two separate costs. Ours is fixed, starts at £199 and is quoted before any work begins. The second is the UK Intellectual Property Office application fee, paid directly to the IPO — at the time of writing £170 for a standard online application in one class, plus £50 for each additional class. We confirm the current figures and the full total in writing first.
Usually not, if they are using it for the same or similar goods and services. That is what the search is for. If we find an earlier identical or similar mark we tell you before you file, and set out your realistic options — narrowing the specification, filing in a different class, or choosing a different name.
You receive an examination report setting out the objection and a period in which to respond. Objections are common and many are answerable with the right argument or evidence. We draft that response for you. If an application genuinely cannot be saved, we will say so plainly rather than bill you for correspondence going nowhere.
No, and this catches many business owners out. A company registration only prevents someone registering an identical company name. It does not stop another business trading under your name, and gives you no right to object when they do. Only a registered trademark does that.
