UK Trademark Search — UKIPO Brand Clearance API

UK brand clearance for brand owners, IP attorneys, and agencies. Search the UK (GB) trademark register by mark text, Nice class, and status — and get a clean, structured record for every hit, each carrying its official UKIPO deep-link.

EU trademark coverage no longer includes the UK. Since Brexit, clearing a mark in Europe means two searches — the EU register and the UK register. This Actor is the second one. Pair it with our EUIPO search for full European clearance.

Run it as a brand watch (schedule)

Brand clearance is a monitoring job, not a one-off. Schedule this Actor to watch the UK register for new filings that collide with your mark:

Schedule: weekly (cron 0 7 * * 1)
Input:
{ "query": "yourbrand", "niceClasses": [9, 42], "status": "all", "maxResults": 50 }

New conflicting applications surface the week they publish — feed them straight into your clearance or opposition workflow.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 actor start + $0.10 per trademark record — about $1 ≈ 10 records. You pay for the marks you actually get back.

Where the data comes from (honest source note)

Records are served via TMview (TMDN) — the EUIPO-operated official network that aggregates national trademark registers, including the UK IPO (GB office). Every record carries its official officialUrl deep-link back to the UKIPO record, so any result can be verified at source. This is the authoritative register data, not a re-scrape of a consumer search page.

Use with AI agents

Point an agent at it for automated clearance checks:

Supports the x402 agent-payment standard (pay-per-event) for autonomous agent use.
