THE REGISTRATION PROCESS WITH NBR
STEP 1 - SEARCHES
This is the first step to getting your trade mark. Searches are required to ensure your intended mark/design isn't infringing on any existing marks/registrations and should be done before trying to register your mark. There is no obligation to register after the search but this is a great indication to whether your proposed trade mark is available or is registered by someone else.
£99
STEP 2 - REGISTRATION
After your search has been done the next step isto register. Should the searches suggest that a mark/design is eligible, then we can apply for your mark/design against the specifications you require. For trade marks the process usually takes around 6 months. However, your trade mark is effective from the first day of your application, and protects your IP for 10 years. Registered Designs can be registered for up to 25 years, if renewed every 5 years.

STEP 3 - WATCHING SEARCHES
After your trade mark/design has been registered, our Watching Searches ensures all new applications are monitored, and should any pending applications appear too similar to, copy or imitate your mark/design we can alert you, and take action in sufficient time to prevent a registration completing.
