Thanks to AI and cheap overseas manufacturing, it has never been easier for someone to attempt to replicate your service proposition or product. The most important and universal gauge of quality is your brand, which is why it is too important to leave to chance.

Whether you are running a small owner managed business or part of a larger organisation, someone needs to take responsibility for managing your trademarks, from trademark registration and monitoring through to enforcement. Professional trademark management services can help ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Let’s discuss these below-

Small Owner Managed Businesses

In smaller businesses, responsibility for trademarks often falls to the business owner or a trusted adviser such as an accountant or legal consultant. While this can work in the early days, it is difficult to stay on top of deadlines, renewals and potential infringements while also running the business.

This often leads to:

• Missing infringements on your brand, allowing third parties to trade off your goodwill or risking damage to your hard earned reputation.
• Missing important deadlines which could result in losing rights to your name, logo or tagline.
• Failing to respond to oppositions or cancellation requests.

Ultimately, this can lead to unnecessary expense, whether through legal costs or, at worst, a full rebrand, all of which could have been avoided with the right trademark management company overseeing your brand protection.

Worried About Escalating Costs Associated with Trademark Registration & Management?

No business has spare money, only budgets. Trademarks often sit in the same category as insurance. You may not want to pay for it, but you cannot afford not to.

We understand that not all budgets are equal. Whatever stage you are at in your trademark journey, we recommend the following three steps.

Step 1 Decide who in your team is responsible for trademarks management.

Step 2 Be realistic about how much time and expertise that person has.

Step 3 Book a free 30 minute consultation with one of our team to understand how we can support you, whether you are starting out, looking to free up time, or reviewing the cost of your current trademark representation.

Operating in Multiple Countries

If your business trades internationally, whether online or through physical locations, your trademarks may need protection in multiple jurisdictions. Each country has its own registers, rules, costs and timelines, making international trademark management complex.

Overseas trademark costs are often significantly higher than UK Trademark Registration. Even large organisations cannot afford mistakes where official fees are non refundable.

Each trademark office has its own approach to classifications and acceptable terms. Research before filing is essential. While no application is guaranteed, understanding local requirements reduces the risk of wasted applications.

Because of these local differences, many trademark offices require a local representative. While some platforms attempt to automate this process, our experience shows that relying solely on technology often leads to failed applications and wasted fees.

Since 2008, we have built a trusted global network of local trademark attorneys.

What We Deliver

• Local trademark searches and territory specific guidance.
• Advice on priority countries and filing strategy.
• Accurate and transparent cost breakdowns.
• Access to trusted local trademark attorneys worldwide.
• A single UK point of contact for all international trademarks.
• Paralegal services designed to reduce overall spend.
• Guidance on the Madrid Protocol and international filing systems.
• Scalable strategies as your business expands.
• Ongoing monitoring across markets, even where registration is pending.
