Question 1

What does this combined search cover?

Accepted Answer

This service runs a free AI-powered trademark search across both the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in one go.

Question 2

Why search both UK and EU at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Since Brexit, UK and EU trademarks are separate rights. If you plan to trade in both markets, you need protection in both. Running both searches together saves time and gives you a complete picture before filing.

Question 3

How long does the search take?

Accepted Answer

Both searches run in parallel and results are typically delivered within minutes. The UK and EU findings are displayed side by side.

Question 4

Can I search just the UK or just the EU?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the toggle at the top of the page to switch between UK only, EU only, or both together.

Question 5

What's a NICE class in trade marks?

Accepted Answer

Goods and services are grouped into 45 NICE classes. Your filing and search scope is defined per class. For example, software is typically in Class 9 and Class 42.

Question 6

What is the UKIPO?

Accepted Answer

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) is the government body responsible for registering trade marks, patents, designs and copyright in the United Kingdom.

Question 7

What is the EUIPO?

Accepted Answer

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is the EU agency responsible for registering EU trade marks (EUTMs) covering all 27 member states.

Question 8

Does a UK trade mark cover EU countries?

Accepted Answer

No. Since Brexit, UK and EU trade marks are entirely separate. A UK trade mark protects only in the UK; an EUTM protects across all 27 EU member states.

Question 9

Does this include filing the application?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a free search service. We offer separate UK and EU trade mark filing services to handle your applications.

Question 10

Will you recommend classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Provide your product or service description and our AI will suggest the most relevant NICE classes for your review.

Question 11

What if conflicts are found in one jurisdiction but not the other?

Accepted Answer

Results are shown separately for UK and EU. You can choose to file in the conflict-free jurisdiction first, or consult with a trade mark attorney about next steps.

Question 12

Is the search guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No search can guarantee registration, but it significantly reduces risk by identifying likely conflicts before you invest in filing.

Question 13

Can I file for both UK and EU after the search?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After the search results are displayed, you'll see options to file for UK, EU, or both. Each filing service is handled separately.

Question 14

How long does trade mark protection last?

Accepted Answer

Both UK and EU trade mark registrations last 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year periods.

Question 15

How will I receive results?

Accepted Answer

Results are displayed instantly on screen, and we also send a detailed report to your email address.
