Open to opposition until 17 September 2026
Anyone with grounds has two months from the day a mark is advertised to oppose it. A TM7A notice of threatened opposition, filed inside that window, extends the deadline to 17 October 2026. A deadline that falls on a day the IPO is closed moves to the next day it opens. A mark that is not opposed proceeds to registration.

Frequently asked questions
Is KIRKTON HOUSE a registered trade mark?▾

When is the deadline to oppose KIRKTON HOUSE?▾
Opposition to UK00004412095 must be filed by 17 September 2026 — two months from the day it was advertised.

That window is still open.

What goods and services does KIRKTON HOUSE cover?▾
UK00004412095 is filed in 23 classes of the Nice classification: class 1 (chemicals for industry, science and agriculture, unprocessed plastics and industrial adhesives), class 4 (industrial oils and greases, lubricants, fuels, candles and wicks), class 6 (common metals and their alloys, metal building materials, ironmongery and safes), class 7 (machines and machine tools, motors and engines other than for land vehicles, agricultural implements), class 8 (hand tools and implements, cutlery, side arms and razors), class 9 (scientific, measuring and computing apparatus, software, recorded media, eyewear and safety equipment), class 10 (surgical and medical instruments, prosthetics, orthopaedic articles and therapeutic devices), class 11 (apparatus for lighting, heating, cooking, refrigerating, ventilating and water supply), class 12 (vehicles and apparatus for travel by land, air or water, and their parts), class 16 (paper and cardboard, printed matter, stationery, books, artists' materials and paper packaging), class 17 (unprocessed and semi-processed rubber, plastics in extruded form, packing and insulating materials, flexible pipes), class 18 (leather and imitations of leather, luggage and bags, umbrellas and saddlery), class 19 (non-metallic building materials, stone and concrete, non-metal pipes and monuments), class 20 (furniture, mirrors and picture frames, and goods of wood, cork, cane and plastic), class 21 (household and kitchen utensils, cookware, glassware, porcelain and earthenware, and brushes), class 22 (ropes and string, nets, tents and awnings, sacks, padding materials and raw textile fibres), class 24 (textiles and their substitutes, household linen and curtains), class 25 (clothing, footwear and headgear), class 26 (lace and embroidery, ribbons and buttons, pins and needles, artificial flowers and hair decorations), class 27 (carpets, rugs and mats, linoleum and non-textile wall hangings), class 28 (games and toys, gymnastic and sporting articles, and decorations for Christmas trees), class 31 (raw agricultural, horticultural and forestry products, live animals, fresh produce, seeds and animal feed), class 34 (tobacco and its substitutes, cigarettes and e-cigarettes, smokers' articles and matches). Protection reaches only the classes a mark is filed in, so a similar name in an unrelated class is not necessarily a conflict.
What does "Word" mean on this trade mark?▾
The IPO records UK00004412095 as a word mark. That means it protects the words themselves, in any ordinary typeface — the broadest protection, because it does not depend on how the mark is drawn.
What is the Nice classification?▾
An international scheme of 45 classes — 1 to 34 for goods and 35 to 45 for services — that every trade mark office uses to say what a mark covers. An applicant pays per class, so the classes on an application are a deliberate choice about how wide the protection should be.
About this record
This comes from the trade marks journal the UK Intellectual Property Office publishes every Friday, listing the marks it has accepted that week. It is the journal rather than the full register: a mark advertised here can still be opposed, and the IPO publishes no bulk export of the register itself. Search the journal by wording or by applicant on the trade marks page.
