With over 40 years’ experience, National Business Register (NBR) provide businesses with a range of tailored IP services designed to protect their business, brand, and creative assets.

• IP Audit - A complimentary audit for any member, outlining the position and any recommended actions.

• Initial Consultation - A free 30 minute consultation for members with questions around trade marks, designs, copyright, contracts or general IP strategy.

• Discounted Rates - A reduced hourly rate of £199 +VAT for the first 3 hours of commissioned work on IP consultancy (our usual rate is £299 +VAT).

• Commercial advice - Alongside IP, we can assist with the commercial documents that underpin brand protection. This includes terms and conditions, licensing and assignment agreements, and other contracts to ensure members’ rights are properly secured and not inadvertently diluted.

• Business Name Protection – affordable protection for trading names across the UK, particularly valuable for sole traders and micro-businesses.

• Trade Mark & Design Services – guidance and filing for UK, EU, and international trade marks and registered designs, plus monitoring to alert members of similar filings.

• Tailored IP Support & Education – including workshops, webinars, downloadable guides, strategic advice, and a dedicated support line.
