Steps for Trademark Registration in the United Kingdom (UK)

01

Conduct a Comprehensive Search

Check the UKIPO database for existing or similar trademarks to avoid conflicts or rejections later.

02

File the Application

Submit your application to the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) with required details and classification.

03

Preliminary Examination

UKIPO reviews the application for completeness, clarity, and legal requirements—not for prior trademarks.

04

Receive & Respond to Examination Report

If there are any formal objections, you’ll have a chance to respond or amend the application.

05

Publication in Gazette

The application is published in the UK Trade Marks Journal for public view and opposition.

06

Official Journal Entry

Your trademark is officially listed in the UK Trade Marks Journal, triggering the opposition window.

07

Opposition Period (60 Days)

Third parties can oppose your application within 2 months of publication if they believe it infringes their rights.

08

Issuance of Registration Certificate

If no opposition is raised (or successfully defended), you’ll receive your official trademark registration certificate.

09

Renewal & Maintenance

Trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely by paying renewal fees before expiry.

In the UK, trademark rights are governed by the Trade Marks Act 1994 and related regulations. The UK follows a “first-to-file” system, meaning the first person to file a trademark will hold the legal rights—not necessarily the first to use it.

While unregistered trademarks may have limited protection under the law of “passing off,” only a registered trademark allows you to use the ® symbol and enforce rights across platforms like Amazon, eBay, and others.

Our legal team supports full lifecycle management of trademarks in the UK—from filing and opposition defense to renewal and portfolio monitoring, all in compliance with UKIPO standards.
