From journal to
intelligence in hours
Eight stages. Fully deterministic. Every new UK trade mark application analysed, every conflict verified, every deadline calculated.
Journal parsed
Every UKIPO Trade Marks Journal processed within hours of publication. Every application, mark, class, and goods specification extracted. Not sampling. Not keyword filtering. Everything.
Conflicts detected
Each new application compared against the full register across three dimensions: geometric structure for figurative marks, verbal analysis for word marks, and goods and services overlap. The verbal analysis is trained on thousands of real EUIPO Board of Appeal decisions. The goods and services comparison uses a similarity matrix derived from actual tribunal outcomes, not keyword matching.
Registrations verified
Every flagged earlier right checked against the live UKIPO register. Status, ownership, renewal dates confirmed. Not a cached database snapshot from last month.
Owner entities enriched
Rights holder resolved through Companies House. Company status, directors, persons of significant control, registered office. A letter to a dissolved company is wasted. The enrichment prevents that.
What is verified
- Registration status and current standing
- Current owner name and address
- Filing and renewal dates
- Ownership changes since last indexing
What is enriched
- Company status (active, dissolved, dormant)
- Directors and PSCs
- Registered office
- Group company relationships
Relationships screened
Not every apparent conflict is real. The applicant and owner might be the same entity, or related companies with shared directors. Shared company numbers, shared officers, and PSC overlaps are all detected automatically.
Legal intelligence built
Six structured legal assessment packs built for each conflict: warning letter strategy, bad faith screening, threats-safe correspondence guardrails, proof-of-use readiness, delay and acquiescence risk, and court escalation logic. Each is a structured data object with discrete fields, not prose. Procedural posture, statutory grounds, confusion analysis, and drafting readiness all computed as verifiable data.
Procedural posture
Where the matter sits. Opposition window open or closed. TM7A extension available. Urgency assessed.
Legal routes
Primary and alternative statutory grounds. Each route assessed independently with reasoning and blockers.
Threats-law guardrails
Safe communication boundaries. What must be avoided. Tone calibration. Built on the Threats (Prevention of Unjustified Threats) Act 2017.
Contacts enriched
Outreach channels resolved for each rights holder through a multi-source pipeline. Domains resolved via Wikidata, search engines, and certificate transparency records. MX verification confirms mail-delivery capability. LinkedIn role targeting generates search prompts for key decision-makers. Postal from the register as the truth-first fallback. Every contact field carries its source and provenance.
Intelligence pack and documents delivered
The final output. Not a PDF watch report. A structured, matter-ready intelligence pack containing verified facts, six legal assessment packs, correspondence guardrails, contact channels, and calculated deadlines. Plus generated DOCX reports and warning letters on branded letterhead, ready for solicitor review and sending.
