There are 45 classes to choose from and a trade mark lawyer will be able to guide and advise you on the best class or classes you should choose to protect your business. 34 of these classes relate to goods and 11 relate to services but a trade mark lawyer will be able to easily identify which classes relate to your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A trade mark lawyer will also advise you as to the merits of submitting a multi-class application. These are where you want to register your trade mark across multiple classes. A trade mark lawyer will evaluate your current and future business position. For instance, if you intend to expand any goods or services. This will enable them to advise you of the best type of application for you. In turn, they will ensure your trade mark is appropriately protected against competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n

For example, your solicitor may advise you to register your trade mark in multiple classes. This will save you from the expense of future registration applications. Further, a trade mark lawyer could identify a registered trade mark that is already in existence and consequently, advise you to change your design. This will save you both time and money as you won\u2019t submit a worthless application that is bound to fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opposing a Trade Mark Registration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps you are wishing to oppose a trade mark registration. This is usually because the trade mark is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-distinctive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">too common place in the goods or services industry it is seeking to be classed within<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">descriptive of the goods or services<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Any business can oppose an application but it is a relatively complex process that is certainly made easier with the assistance of a trade mark lawyer. If you wish to oppose a trade mark, it could be worthwhile considering legal assistance in order to ensure your opposition argument is as strong as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Intellectual property lawyers in England will be able to advise you based on their experience. They will almost certainly have stronger expertise than you when making an application to the Intellectual Property Office. One of the key benefits of hiring a trade mark lawyer is that they can advise you on what particular form your trade mark should take. They will also be able to advise you of any other trade marks already in existence that could conflict with yours. Another benefit of hiring a trade mark lawyer is that they will save you time. In the long-run, they can also save you money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help or advice about protecting your UK intellectual property internationally, our experienced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/intellectual-property-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">intellectual property lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
