Method

A matter has a sequence. We do not skip steps.

Filing first and searching later is how businesses pay official fees for a mark they cannot use. We reverse that habit.

A working desk with a docket folder

  1. 01

    Scope

    We list what you already own, what you use without owning, and what you are about to launch. The list is the brief. We do not start by selling a filing.

  2. 02

    Clear

    Searches and opinions come before official fees. If the sign, the shape or the product collides with an earlier right, you hear that while a change is still cheap.

  3. 03

    File

    Applications go to the UKIPO, and to other offices where the commercial plan requires it. Specifications are written to the business, not copied from a class heading.

  4. 04

    Docket

    Every live right sits on one register with an instruction date and an official date. Renewals are paid because the calendar said so, not because someone remembered.

  5. 05

    Watch

    Later filings, lookalike brands and obvious copyists are raised as actions. Silence from us means we saw nothing that met the watch you set.

  6. 06

    Report

    A quarterly schedule a director can read. On a sale or a lending, the same schedule is the disclosure list. No reconstruction from email.

Who instructs us

In-house counsel who want the calendar off their desk. Founders who are about to put a name on a shopfront. Finance teams preparing a sale. We also take over dockets from firms that have stopped answering.

What we will refuse

We will not file a specification we cannot defend. We will not pretend an EU filing made after 2020 covers the United Kingdom. We will not send a threatening letter on a right that is not in force.

Start with the list you already have.

Write to us with the rights you already have, or the launch you are planning.
