June 2025

HGF has achieved the #1 ranking for the UK for trade mark portfolios in the newly released 2025 Trade mark Filing Trends report by Clarivate, recognising the firm as a leading force in trade mark representation and strategy.

The Trade Mark Filing Trends 2025 report offers an in-depth view of global trade mark activity, tracking filing patterns from 2015 to 2024. Compiled using SAEGIS, CompuMark’s online trade mark database, the report highlights year-over-year filing trends, portfolio sizes, and regional filing dynamics.

This recognition reflects not only the scale of trade mark filings we manage but also the strategic insight and expertise our team brings to clients across the globe. As one of the largest trade mark practices with a mixed firm of Chartered Trade Mark Attorneys, Patent Attorneys, and IP Solicitors in the UK, and with the second-largest trade mark team nationwide, HGF continues to lead the way in providing comprehensive IP solutions that are globally attuned and locally effective.

Under the leadership of David Potter, HGF’s team of specialist attorneys represent clients before the UK, EU, Irish, German, Benelux, and Austrian IP offices.

This #1 ranking solidifies our reputation for excellence, innovation, and client-focused service. With a broad international reach and a deeply collaborative approach, we support clients in navigating the complex IP environments of multiple jurisdictions.
