Trademark registration is the way to secure exclusive rights to your name or logo (or to the two combined). The price to register a UK trade mark for your name or logo is outlined below. To register your name and logo in a single combined appplication, the logo option would be the one to buy. You should also buy a pre-filing trade mark search to check that the mark is available to register. Whether you need a UK or EU trade mark depends on where you will be trading. If your business is a local one, such as a restaurant, then a UK registration is the best option for you.
As trade marks take some 4-5 months to be granted in the UK, if a lot will ride on the availability of your chosen mark, register your brand name well before you do anything else to start up your business. What Next? To buy a UK trademark get a trademark quote. This will include a search and official fees. Then proceed to the eStore to print out the quote or to buy.
* Note, Official Fees will be included in the eStore. They are £170 for a UK application in one class, and £50 for each extra class. |
