Frequently asked questions
How much does ad hoc trademark support cost?
Our hourly rates for discretionary support range from £49 to £99 per hour. That covers work such as unforeseen trademark disputes, enforcement action and practical business advice. Many clients already have a number of hours included in their representation packages, so some or all of this work may already be covered. If we are able to help, we always will.
Answered by Jonathan Paton, Founder & CEOWhat is the best first step when a trademark dispute arises without warning?
Get the position assessed early, before replying or committing to a course of action. Options narrow quickly once positions harden, and in our experience the situation is often better than a first letter implies. It helps to ask what outcome the other side actually wants. A short consultation usually clarifies whether the matter can be settled simply or needs formal steps.
Answered by Jonathan Paton, Founder & CEODoes The Trademark Helpline help with anything beyond trademarks?
Yes. Alongside trademark enforcement and advice, we share insight on direct marketing and SEO, social and native advertising, HR support and business coaching, and fundraising and strategic planning. Where relevant, we can also promote a client's products or services within our network, helping them reach new contacts and build useful connections.

I cannot recommend The Trademark Helpline highly enough. From the very beginning, the process of registering my trademark with them was smooth and stress-free. Their expertise and communication were excellent – they kept me informed every step of the way and were always happy to answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Alex for his fantastic work in securing my trademark. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. Thanks to The Trademark Helpline, I now have the peace of mind that my brand is protected. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing assistance with trademarks. Best wishes, Isabel
