Trademark and IP registration services · Professional services
Most trademark clients come after a problem, so be findable when the notice arrives.
For example, a hypothetical founder discovers that another company is using a name close to hers, and realises she never registered her trademark. She searches that evening and rings two firms. One explains how a search works, what a class is and what the registry may object to, and sends her a note to read.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Trademark and IP registration services file applications, respond to objections and manage renewals, often for clients who waited until something went wrong. Marketing makes the firm findable at that moment. Sales is the search, the filing and the long tail of objections and renewals. GullySales handles the enquiry flow and the renewal diary.
Trademark work has a long tail: the search, the filing, the examination report, the objection reply, the hearing, the registration and then renewals a decade later. Firms lose clients between stages, miss renewal dates and never follow up the searches that did not convert.

How buyers decide
How trademark and IP registration services are chosen.
Clients arrive after a trigger: a copycat, an investor's due diligence, a marketplace takedown or a notice. They search for trademark registration and compare firms on price, on whether an attorney is involved and on how clearly the process is explained.
Expertise shows in the search. A firm that explains class selection, conflicting marks and the real chance of objection earns the file. One that simply quotes a filing fee competes only on price.
After filing, the registry issues an examination report, and an objection in it is a normal step to answer, not a sign of failure. A client who is told what the step means is less likely to panic, and the firm has a reason to write again. Advocates and registered agents must follow their council's rules on advertising and solicitation, so every page and message here explains the process and does not promise a result.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for trademark and IP registration services.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Searches are done and never followed up”
A client asks for a search, receives it and is never contacted again.
“Objections surprise the client”
An examination report arrives and the client thinks something went wrong, because nobody warned them it was normal.
“Renewal dates are not diarised”
Registrations lapse and the client blames the firm.
“Price competition with filing portals”
Online portals quote a low filing fee, and the firm cannot explain the difference.
“Clients file one mark and never the rest”
A business with several brands registers one and nobody asks about the others.
“Class selection is rushed”
A wrong class means a registration that does not protect what the client sells.
What we do
What we do for trademark and IP registration services.
Everything included for trademark and IP registration services, and the result each part is there to produce.
A search that leads to a conversation
A search routine followed by a written summary and a call explaining the options. The call covers classes, conflicting marks and what the registry may raise, and what the client decides next is left to the client.
Result: Every search sent out has a call logged against it.
An expectation-setting note
A short written note at filing explaining that an examination report is normal and what happens next.
Result: The client has read what an examination report is before one arrives.
A renewal diary
A record of every registration with reminders well ahead of each renewal date.
Result: Your own record lists each registration with its renewal date.
A portfolio review for each client
A short review of all the brands a client uses and what is unprotected.
Result: The client has a written list of the brands you reviewed and the ones still unfiled.
A plain comparison with filing portals
An honest explanation of what a portal does and does not do, set beside what your own fee includes.
Result: A client comparing your fee with a portal's can see what each includes.
A report against the baseline
Enquiries by source, searches done, filings, objections handled and renewals retained, against the baseline taken before work starts.
Result: You can see the whole pipeline, not just new filings.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and trigger
- Searches converted to filings
- Objections replied to within time
- Renewals retained
- Additional filings from existing clients
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what trademark and IP registration services most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Search your name before you grow
An explainer for startups and growing businesses on how a name search and class choice work, published before any dispute arises.
Result: A founder can read how a search works before choosing a firm.
How a name dispute is handled
An information page for businesses that search after a similar name or a marketplace takedown notice appears. It explains the process in general terms and is not aimed at anyone by name, in line with your council's advertising rules.
Result: A person who searches in that situation reaches a page that explains the steps.
Renewal reminders
A routine that reaches every client well before a renewal falls due.
Result: A reminder reaches the client with the renewal date written in it.
Portfolio reviews
An offer to review all of a client's brands.
Result: Each client receives a written list of which brands are filed and which are not.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of trademark and IP registration services, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Startups, incubators and accelerators
Founders choose a name long before they think of registering it, so a short note on searching a name first is what reaches them, with a list of the incubators in your city.
Chartered accountants and company secretaries
A chartered accountant or company secretary sees the unregistered brand on a client's invoice. We prepare a one-page note they can hand over, and a record of who refers work.
Ecommerce sellers and D2C brands
A seller whose listing was copied needs an answer the same day. We prepare a page and a reply routine for takedown enquiries, and a list of sellers' communities to speak to.
Industry associations
A trade association has dozens of members with unprotected names. We prepare a talk and a handout for its meetings, and note which members ask for a search.

Not for
