| Hearing representation | Where the Tribunal lists a hearing, prepared and conducted remotely, or with specialist counsel where required. | quoted per stage |
Your fixed fee is confirmed in writing once I have seen your document. Pay within 24 hours of that confirmation for the reduced fee.
Bespoke and urgent matters outside the schedule: £650 per hour, capped estimates in advance.
Miss the two month deadline for the TM8 counterstatement and your application is treated as abandoned for the opposed goods, and the official fees are gone. The deadline is the whole game; send the notice the day it arrives.
For a standard defence, yes: fixed, with no VAT, agreed in writing before you pay. Compare the market: national IP firms quote £700 to £5,000 plus VAT for the same procedure, usually on open ended hourly terms.
Some oppositions are strong and settlement is the smart play; many are tactical and collapse under a properly drafted counterstatement. Send the notice and the fixed fee for the defence is confirmed in writing; the frank view on prospects comes with the instruction, before the TM8 is filed.
Your defence is prepared by Corven Law and checked by a regulated solicitor of England and Wales, with the frank view on prospects in writing before anything is filed.
Yes, the attacking side runs the same track in reverse: watch notice, TM7 grounds, evidence. If a conflicting application threatens your brand, the two month window applies to you too.
Send a brief outline of your matter. You will receive a written reply, checked by a regulated solicitor, with a fixed fee quote where the scope is clear. Payment is taken before work begins; every fee is fixed in writing first.
