How much do trademarks cost?
Prices vary with what you are protecting, how many goods and services you cover and where in the world you need to be protected.
Our calculator prices your mark across more than 200 filing platforms, broken down by region, whether that is the UK alone, the UK and EU together or a full global strategy. Most people find they can protect more for less than they expected.

What classes and terms do I need to protect?
A potential banana skin for any application. Miss an important class or term and you may have to start again, doubling your cost with no guarantee of success.
We have built five handy tools that use successful UK registrations as their source of truth. Search the classes directly, copy a competitor that already holds a mark, read your Companies House record, describe what you sell, or let us read your website.
Where can I learn more about trademarks and about you?
Our home for frequently asked questions, client case studies, trademark news and the legal outcomes worth learning from.
Alongside those you will find plain English articles on trademarks and on running a business generally, video content, and anything else we think adds genuine value. Always free, always growing.

Real insight into your industry. We name the top three companies in your sector and list every trademark they hold.
You also get the percentage of businesses in your sector that register a trademark at all, and roughly when they tend to file compared with when the company was incorporated. Pop in your company name and the insights are instant.
