Why we are different

We can provide a one-stop-shop that you don't find at a traditional trade mark agency.

Pinsent Masons' trade marks and designs team, which includes qualified trade mark attorneys, provides a comprehensive trade mark and design application filing service, including UK, Community Trade Mark, Madrid Protocol and national trade mark filings across the globe.

However, we can also provide all services in relation to trade mark and design protection and enforcement in conjunction with our Intellectual Property team, as part of a seamless service.

With the benefit of an integrated trade mark and design portfolio management service, we offer a complete, global service to clients, from start-ups to multinationals.

Fees

We can file your trade mark application in the UK for around £500 plus VAT (including all outlays).

The cost of filing a Community trade mark application covering all 27 member states of the EU starts at just over £1,000 plus VAT. You can register a design in the UK for as little as £400 plus VAT and across the EU for as little as £600 plus VAT.
