Trade mark registration

Trade mark legal guidance

A trade mark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. Trade marks are a key form of intellectual property right.

We work with trade mark agents to register trade marks in the United Kingdom, European Union (EU)and worldwide.
