My experience with Albright IP has been flawless from start to finish. I... have never filed a patent before so I was learning everything as I went along. They have been helpful in every way possible and gone the extra mile to ensure I was kept in the loop and happy as everything was going through each step of the way. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with their service. I had the pleasure of working with Will, Abigail, and Adrian. I would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to file a patent application.read more

Was a pleasure to work with Will and Melissa on a patent draft and filing.... Will took the time to understand both my software product and the commercial motivations behind the patent filing. They were extremely responsive to questions and clarifications throughout the process (availability isn't everything, but it certainly helps!).They were also very clear regarding fees, and set out a very helpful visual timeline and cost breakdown on the whole patent application process at the pre-sales stage. This emphasis on making sure I understood all aspects of the work, and having documentation to help with that, is something I didn't see with any of the other patent services I was talking to at the time. This clear communication continued throughout our interactions.Would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to patent an invention. The patent they filed for me was for a software invention.read more

Do I have to identify the designer?
It is possible to waive the name of the designer when filing a European Community Design, but you should be sure that you have the rights to the design

UK Trademark Application – Make Sure That Your Oppositions Are Filed On Time

by | Jul 1, 2013

GB flag

 

Effective immediately, rather than being calculated as two months from the date of publication (i.e. two months and one day), the period to oppose a UK Trademark Application shall be the period of two months beginning with the date on which the Application was published.

 

For example, under the new rules, the deadline to oppose a UK Trademark Application published on 15 October 2010 would be 14 December 2010. A day shorter than previously.

 

Since an opposition deadline cannot be extended (except where the potential opponent has filed a request to do so before the expiry of the initial two month period), vigilance must be exercised to ensure that deadlines are timely met.

 

For more information on this or if you have any other queries regarding the UK Trademark Application procedure, please contact one of our Trade Mark Attorneys.
