EU and UK IP Rights Made Easy.

Complete the form to begin the cloning process.

At the end of the transitional period relating to the UK’s departure from the European Union, presently scheduled to end on 31st December 2020, all European Union trade mark and design registrations in force at that time will be cloned automatically and for free into corresponding United Kingdom trade mark and design registrations. 

The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (‘UKIPO’) as of 11pm on 31st December 2020 will issue corresponding UK Registrations with new trade mark and design registration numbers automatically without further recourse to you, unless you actively ‘opt out’ of the cloning process. All priority and seniority dates relating the corresponding EU trade mark registrations will be maintained and entered onto the UKIPO trade mark and design registers.

Via entering your details above, HGF Complete will enable HGF to assume responsibility for those cloned UK registrations at the UKIPO and enter those details onto our records and renewals systems.  You will benefit by having the support of one of the largest trade mark and design attorney and trade mark formalities teams in the United Kingdom, together with a complete record of your cloned registrations.

The process is free and all we need is for you to input your details above and a Chartered Trade Mark Attorney from our trade mark and design team will be in contact within 72 hours. We will then enter the relevant registrations details onto our system and you will then have a complete record of the cloned UK registrations and with all the relevant information relating to those registrations hassle free, including priority, seniority, filing and renewal dates and full specifications. We will then manage those cloned registrations for you, giving you or your clients peace of mind and knowing that nothing has been missed in the cloning process.

HGF has also produced a series of guides and advisory notes on the cloning process and strategies to follow in the run up and after the end of the transitional period to maximise your UK and EU trade mark and design rights.

HGF Complete is an easy to use, free and ‘complete’ online platform to enable you to manage the cloning process associated with the transition of European Union (‘EU’) trade mark and design registrations into corresponding United Kingdom (‘UK’) trade mark and design registrations.
