    • A search for any existing registered trademarks (or applications) in the territories you have flagged which may raise trade mark infringement concerns.
    • A legal opinion, from a UK qualified IP lawyer, on the results of the title search, identifying any potential passing off or trade mark infringement concerns, and advising on the risk level that each presents.

We can provide searches for the UK only, Europe or Global.
