UK trade mark application

The documents/information/instructions required by us to prepare a UK application are as follows:

• The full name, address and nationality of the applicant.
• For incorporated bodies, the country or state of incorporation.
• Details of the Trade Mark including representations (preferably a jpeg) if the mark is a device mark.
• The specification of goods and/or services to be covered. UK applications may be multi-class. We can draft a specification if we are provided with an indication of the goods and/or services of interest.
• Details of any priority claim. In some cases a copy of the priority application will be required to support such a claim. For a UK application which claims priority from an earlier application previously filed in a Paris Convention country, the UK application must be filed within six months of the priority application.

The applicant must have a bonafide intention to use the mark in relation to the goods/ services covered.

The Trade Marks Registry does not require any forms signed by the applicant on filing. However, the Registrar does have the right to request a Power of Attorney form, although rarely does so.
