Trademark applications in the United Kingdom are administered by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO). The UKIPO oversees the examination, publication, opposition, and registration of trademarks across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The UK system involves formal checks, absolute grounds examination, and a structured opposition procedure. While UKIPO does not automatically reject marks due to earlier similar trademarks, it notifies earlier rights holders who may oppose.
