UK Trade Mark Applications – From Australia

Trade marks are territorial. An Australian trade mark does not protect your brand or app name in the UK.

Greyson Legal assists Australian clients who:

sell digital products or apps to UK users
operate SaaS or subscription platforms accessible in the UK
license technology or brand names overseas
want to prevent brand copying or misuse in the UK market

We guide you through the UK trade mark application process, explaining timelines, costs, risks, and enforcement considerations in plain English.

London Presence Supporting UK Trade Mark Matters

As part of our UK trade mark capability, Greyson Legal maintains a London office location that supports UK trade mark administration and correspondence, including matters involving the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO).

This allows UK authorities to correspond through a UK-based contact point, while legal advice, strategy and oversight remain with Greyson Legal in Australia.
