What is an intellectual property agent and what do they do?

Using an intellectual property (IP) agent 

An IP agent is a professional who specialises in trade mark applications. They can support you through the process, from checking if your chosen mark is available to selecting the correct classes for your goods and services.  

An agent can prepare and submit your application manage renewals, and advise on how to protect and enforce your rights after registration.  

Using an IP agent can help to ensure your application is accurate, efficient, and gives your brand the best possible protection.
