New: UK Trademark Search — UKIPO Brand Clearance API — clear UK brand names against the GB register

What it does

This actor searches the UK (GB) trademark register maintained by the UKIPO, so you can run brand-clearance checks post-Brexit without the EU register. Query by mark text, Nice class and status, and get structured records back — each with an official UKIPO deep-link to the source entry. You pay per record.

Who it's for

Trademark attorneys and paralegals running clearance searches, brand and product teams naming new offerings, IP watch services, and founders checking a name is free before they file in the UK.

Sample fields / output

  • mark — the trademark text
  • nice_class — Nice classification class(es)
  • status — application/registration status
  • owner — applicant / proprietor
  • application_number — UKIPO reference
  • link — official UKIPO deep-link

Example use cases

  • Run a UK clearance search before filing a new trademark application.
  • Monitor a Nice class for newly filed marks that conflict with your brand.
  • Bulk-check a list of candidate product names against the GB register.
