Extra information
Please click on the options below for more information to help you successfully register your trade mark while using our search functionality above. Please note that our site provides a high level search looking for obvious issues only. Click here to contact us if you’d like a comprehensive search to be completed or if you have any other queries.
Not everything is allowed to be registered as a trade mark.
- A trade mark can't be too descriptive. For example, an application to register NUTTY for nuts is likely to be refused. You can sometimes overcome this problem by adding something non-descriptive, before filing, see below.
- Deceptive of the product / service applied for. For example, an application for GOLDiful for plastic jewellery would be rejected on the basis that people would think that jewellery was made of gold.
- A banned type of trade mark, in short that relates to the British royal family or which includes state emblems like flags aren’t allowed.
- Offensive, e.g. pornographic words or images, or words or images that suggest illegality.
If the Registry reject your trade mark on this basis they do not give a refund of the application fees. We will let you know if this happens and give you the option to either take advice on whether we might be able to persuade the Registry to change their mind or to abandon the application. If your trade mark application fails on this basis although you will have paid the government fee, we will waive our fee on your next application provided you re-file within 30 working days. If you want advice as to whether your trade mark might fail on this basis click here for an initial assessment.
If you think your trade mark is too descriptive, you can add a logo or fancy typeface to reduce the chance the Registry will reject your trade mark.

Results
The automated search will give you a decision on whether it thinks that your trade mark is available or not; this is not a guarantee. You should look at the list of results (if available) and be mindful of any potential conflicts.
Depending on your search results, you can decide how you'd like to proceed. The trade mark review is a good option if the automated search found results or if there are other close results which you believe may cause a problem.
