For business
IP Register Search
Search the official public registers in the UK and worldwide. Where a register's official API allows it, results appear right here; other registers open in a new tab on their own website with your term ready. The official record always takes priority — this app does not store or change it.
Intro: one search, many registers
Type a name, word or number once. We check the registers that share results and open the rest on their official sites, ready to search. This silent clip has no speech.

Get expert advice. Each type of IP has different steps. A search here is not legal advice and does not prove that a name, design or invention is free to use. Speak to a regulated patent or trade mark attorney before you file or launch.
