We help startups, SMEs and founders register, protect and enforce trade marks, copyright and designs — for a fixed fee, with no hourly billing, no jargon, and no surprises.

Services
Intellectual property, made simple.
Four core areas of protection, explained in plain English — and handled end to end.
01
Trade Mark Registration
A trade mark is any sign — a name, logo, sound, colour or combination — that tells customers your goods or services belong to you. We handle the search, filing and registration process from start to finish.
02
Trade Mark Opposition & Infringement
If someone challenges your application — or uses a mark too close to yours — we defend your brand and guide you through resolution, negotiation or formal proceedings.
03
Copyright
Copyright protects your original creative work automatically under UK law. We help you understand what's protected, prove ownership, and act when it's used without permission.
04
Designs
How your product looks is often why customers choose it. If you've invested in distinctive design, a registered design right protects that appearance from being copied.
01 UK Trade Mark Register review
A search for identical and highly similar trade marks already on the register.
02 Social media searches
Checks across relevant social media platforms for conflicting use.
03 Online & website searches
Basic web searches to identify notable third-party use of similar names.
04 A legal opinion, tailored to your brand
A brief assessment of the results with any concerns highlighted — so you can decide whether to proceed, dig deeper with a full clearance search, or adjust course. The choice is yours.

Common questions, answered.
What does a UK trade mark attorney do?
A UK trade mark attorney searches, files and manages trade mark applications with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO), advises on brand protection strategy, and represents clients in opposition or infringement disputes.
How much does it cost to trade mark a business in the UK?
At Neo Percept IP, professionally filed trade marks start from £550 plus the UKIPO filing fee. Self-file support starts from £450. All fees are fixed and agreed upfront.
How long does UK trade mark registration take?
A straightforward UK trade mark application typically takes around 4 months to register if it isn't opposed or objected to, though timelines vary by case.
Should I search before I apply for a trade mark?
Yes — filing without checking for conflicts first is a costly gamble. Our Enhanced UK Knockout Search reviews the register, social media and the web, plus a written legal opinion, for £375 with a 3–4 working day turnaround.
Do startups really need a trade mark attorney?
It's possible to self-file, but an attorney reduces the risk of costly mistakes — like filing in the wrong class or missing a conflicting existing mark — that can delay or block registration.
What happens if my application is opposed?
An opposition is a formal challenge from another rights holder. We resolve 88% of oppositions in clients' favour — starting with a £250 fixed-fee risk assessment, and a £3,500 all-inclusive settlement package if you decide to proceed.
