How to file a UK trademark
Filing a trademark in UK can be a daunting process. There are many trademark Consultants and law firms who file trademarks. However, filing a trademark using a trademark Consultants and law firms is usually expensive, confusing and time consuming.
Alternatively, using the intuitive Trademarken software, you can prepare and file your trademark in under 5 minutes.There are two steps to filing your trademark application. The first is to check to see whether your trademark is available or whether your proposed trademark is already being used by someone else. The second step is to choose one or more goods and services for your trademark.
How to check if your trademark is available
When you file your trademark application using Trademarken, the Trademarken software automatically searches the existing registered trademarks that may conflict with your trademark. Note that trademarks are registered against different goods and services, meaning that identical trademarks can be registered for different goods and services. For example, the trademark 'Duffy' could be registered for both socks and beer by different people. The Trademarken software is smart, in that when searching for existing registered trademarks, it automatically takes into account your goods and services, and only highlights those trademarks which have been registered for the same or related goods and services.
How to choose your Trademark Goods and Services
Trademark goods and services are divided into 45 classes for convenience. When filing your trademark, you must select one or more classes in which to file your trademark. For example, if your trademark relates to computers, you would file your trademark in class 9. Of course, picking classes is difficult. As such, the Trademarken software will pick your classes for you, simply by your typing in the goods and services that are relavant for your trademark.
