Trademark Registration

Downing IP are specialists in Trademarks and many businesses in High Wycombe call upon Downing IP to help with all aspects of trade mark registration and protection.

There is currently no legal requirement to register a Trademark. But if you want to protect your brand we highly recommend you Trademark your logo, symbol, design or words. Trademarks are also important assets to your business as they help to identify you to your customers.

The first step when applying for a Trademark is to check that it is not already registered or that there is not anything similar already registered. We will search marks to clear them for use, help you to choose which mark or marks to register and for which goods and/or services.

If you want to protect your Trademark in other countries than the UK you will need to apply to each country individually as trademark laws vary, this is an area Downing IP know well.

Design Protection

If you’re a company based in High Wycombe looking to protect your products design then Downing can help.

The purpose of protecting your design is to stop others from copying it or encroaching too closely with their own designs. The protection of your design will be based on its aesthetic features including:

  • The appearance
  • The physical shape
  • The configuration
  • The decoration

While most or all aspects of your products might be entirely original, as Intellectual Property experts our skill lies in helping to recognise the design features that should be emphasised, in order to ensure the best and most comprehensive protection for your product.

Obtaining Registered Design Protection demands an application that is thorough, organised and filed in advance of a design coming onto the market. This is one of the many reasons why speaking to an Intellectual Property expert is strongly advised.
