SERVICES
Four core areas of protection, explained in plain English — and handled end to end.
01
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
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 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
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.
BEFORE YOU FILE
Filing a trade mark application without checking for conflicts first is a costly gamble. Our Enhanced UK Knockout Search is designed to identify any obvious issues before you proceed.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
A review of the UK Trade Mark Register for identical and highly similar trade marks
Searches of relevant social media platforms
Basic online and website searches to identify notable third-party use
A legal opinion tailored to your specific brand
Following the search, we provide a brief assessment of the results and highlight any potential concerns. If it reveals a high number of similar marks, we can discuss whether a full clearance search and legal opinion makes sense before filing. Alternatively, some clients prefer to assess the level of risk and proceed directly with the application — the choice is yours.

FAQ
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 UK Trade Mark Register, social media and the web for conflicting use, plus a written legal opinion, for a fixed fee of £375 with a 3–4 working day turnaround.
Do startups and small businesses 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 trade mark application is opposed?
An opposition is a formal challenge from another rights holder. Neo Percept IP has an 88% success rate resolving oppositions in clients' favour. We offer a £250 fixed-fee risk assessment as a first step, followed by a £3,500 all-inclusive settlement package if you decide to proceed.
