Are you launching a new business or product?

“.... you would be well advised to ensure your company name does not conflict with a registered trademark. It does not have to be identical with a trade mark to cause possible conflict. Problems can arise if a name is judged to be confusingly similar”
Source: Companies House Website

Talk to us now for practical advice in plain English about how to avert potential problems with new names and avoid wasting money on marketing, advertising or packaging that has to be changed at a later date.

Do you have issues with an existing name?

Have you have been trading for some time and now want to protect your name?

Are you thinking of appointing a distributor or franchisee? Have you been asked to provide evidence of the right to use your brand name?

Are you looking to raise finance via a bank or VC? The chances are you will be asked whether you have registered your trade marks.

Has your business is been accused of misusing an existing name?

Have you been using a trading name and noticed that someone else has started using a similar name?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes then give us a call and we will provide you with sensible pragmatic solutions on the steps you should and shouldn’t take.

We provide a fast, friendly and affordable service to help you search, research and register your trade mark in the UK or Europe. Our fees are always agreed with you in advance of undertaking any work.

Thank you very very much for explaining to me all the 'Pros & Cons' to the questions I asked......Your answers have been extremely helpful and explained in a manner where the likes of me can understand exactly what you mean without confusing the issue by talking in 'legal jargon'.”
