How Much Does It Cost to Trademark a Logo UK?

Your logo is the face of your business. It appears on your products, website, business cards, and marketing materials. Without trademark protection, another business could use a similar logo and damage your reputation or steal your customers. In this guide, we break down exactly what it costs to trademark a logo in the UK.

Logo Trademark Registration Costs

We offer three packages for logo trademark registration, designed to suit different needs and budgets:

What Affects the Cost of Trademarking a Logo?

Several factors can affect the total cost of trademarking your logo:

Number of Classes

Your logo trademark must be registered in specific classes that cover your goods or services. The first class is included in our packages, and each additional class costs £100. Most businesses need 1-3 classes.

Type of Logo

The complexity of your logo can affect costs:

• Word mark: Text only (e.g., your business name in a specific font)
• Device mark: Image/logo only (e.g., a graphic symbol)
• Combined mark: Text and image together

Combined marks offer the strongest protection but cost more to register than individual word or device marks. We recommend registering both separately for comprehensive coverage.

Search Complexity

If your logo is complex or incorporates common elements, a more thorough search may be needed to ensure it doesn't conflict with existing trademarks. Our comprehensive search is included in all packages.

What's Included in Our Logo Trademark Packages?

• Comprehensive trademark search: We search UK IPO, EUIPO, and common law databases
• Professional application: Expert preparation to maximise approval chances
• UK IPO filing: We handle all paperwork and submission
• Status monitoring: We track your application throughout the process
• Objection handling: Support if any issues arise (Professional & Premium)

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

When comparing trademark services, be aware of potential hidden costs:

• Additional class fees: Some providers charge significantly more for extra classes
• Opposition proceedings: If someone opposes your trademark, legal costs can add up
• Renewal fees: Trademarks must be renewed every 10 years
• Amendment fees: Changes to your application after filing may incur charges

With Register a Trademark UK, our pricing is transparent. There are no hidden fees - what you see is what you pay.

Is It Worth Trademarking Your Logo?

Absolutely. Your logo is a valuable business asset that:

• Builds brand recognition and customer trust
• Becomes more valuable as your business grows
• Can be licensed or sold as an asset
• Prevents competitors from copying your brand identity
• Gives you legal grounds to stop infringement

The cost of trademarking your logo is minimal compared to the cost of rebranding if someone else registers it first.
