A trademark
is an identification of a company's product or
service, and may be a symbol, word, phrase, logo, or
any combination of these. The use of this
identification is legally established through
registration with the Trademark Office. Formations
House offers a Trademark Registration service at a
nominal fee of £350/- only.
Once registered, trademark renewals are required 10 years after the original date of registration. Formations House also offers this service at a fee of only £300/-.
For both the above processes, the following information is required:
Company Name
Registration Number
Customer ID (if already
registered with Formations House)

Important Information about
Trademark Applications
Our trademark service is designed as a low cost
service for small business to register
trademarks where there is no likelihood of an
objection arising from third parties. We
undertake extensive consultation and discovery
before we file a trademark to minimise the
chance of an objection arising. The pre-filing
can last anywhere between 3 to 12 months. The
pre filing consultation information is
confidential and we will not reveal it to the
trademark applicant. The fact that we do not
reveal this information to the applicant allows
us to communicate freely with other parties and
to a reach a decision as to the efficacy of
filing the trademark application.
If after our pre-filing discovery and
consultation phase we decide the trademark is
viable and file the application and subsequently
an objection does arise, the trademark applicant
will be will liable for the costs of the party
objecting to the trademark if he loses the case.
The cost can run into thousands of pounds.
We will not reveal the details of the
consultation process we undertake before
pre-filing or provide documentation or
assistance if an objection arises.
If an objection arises, your options are either
to withdraw your application, before incurring
extensive legal costs, of if you wish to employ
a lawyer who can represent you in the case.
