The UKIPO won't stop conflicting trademarks. We do.
Every Friday, newly filed UK trademarks enter a strict 2-month opposition period. If you don't object in time, conflicting marks get officially registered. Monitor similar filings and competitor moves for just £39/year.
How Trademark Defense Actually Works in the UK
Why trademark attorneys charge £800/yr for watching services, and why UK founders need automated monitoring.
Friday Publication
Every Friday, the UKIPO publishes ~3,000 newly accepted applications in the Trade Marks Journal. The UKIPO does not automatically reject sound-alike or conflicting marks for you.
The 60-Day Window
You have exactly 2 months from publication to oppose an application. If you miss this statutory deadline, the conflicting mark is formally registered and gains legal rights.
Automated Watchdog
MarkSentry stream-parses every journal release using visual, phonetic (Double Metaphone), and token matching. You get instant alerts whenever someone encroaches on your brand.
Simple, Transparent Annual Pricing
Full 365-day brand perimeter protection for a fraction of solicitor fees.
Compare to £400–£1,000/yr charged by traditional IP law firms.
Cancel anytime. Secure checkout via Stripe UK.
MarkSentry UK is an automated public-record monitoring and competitor intelligence service. It does not provide legal advice, does not assess the legal likelihood of confusion under the Trade Marks Act 1994, and makes no recommendation to initiate litigation.
Adverse Costs Warning: Filing a formal Notice of Opposition (Form TM7) at the UKIPO can result in significant legal costs awarded against you (ranging from £300 to £1,500+) under Tribunal Practice Notice TPN 2/2016 if unsuccessful.
If a conflicting mark is identified, we strongly recommend seeking professional representation. You can find a qualified specialist through the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (CITMA) directory.
