JPR Combustions — Trademark Filing Action Sheet

What to file

The mark, the owner, the class — the basics of the application set out in one place.

Mark to register	JPR COMBUSTIONS — filed as a word mark (protects the name in any font or styling). The flame logo is a separate, optional second filing.
Owner (applicant)	J.P.R. Combustions Limited — company no. 04441833. File in the company's name so the brand is a company asset.
Class	Class 37 — installation, maintenance, repair; plumbing, gas fitting, boiler installation & servicing. This is the core class for the trade.
Where	UK Intellectual Property Office — online application (gov.uk, "Apply to register a trade mark", form e-TM3).
Cost	£205 for one class (standard online), or the staged "Right Start" option at £125 now + £125 on passing examination (lets you stop at £125 if the examiner flags an issue).
Timeline	Examination ~2 weeks → 2-month public objection window → registered ~2 weeks later. Roughly 3–4 months if unopposed. Protection dates from the day you file.

Suggested Class 37 wording (draft — to confirm at filing)

"Installation, servicing, maintenance and repair of boilers, gas appliances, central heating systems, hot water systems and heating apparatus; plumbing services; gas installation and gas fitting services; emergency repair services for heating and hot water systems."

This specification is a starting draft. Trim or extend it to match exactly what JPR does and intends to do — the wording sets the scope of protection, so it's worth getting right at filing (it can't be broadened later without a fresh application).

How to file — three routes

Three ways to get it filed. James's choice.

A · Self-file

£205 (IPO fee only)

Complete the IPO online form yourself. Fine for a clean single-class wordmark like this. Risk is only in getting the class/wording right.

B · We file for you Available

£205 IPO fee + our handling

V360HQ files as your representative — we prepare the application, submit it, and manage the IPO correspondence. You approve before anything is submitted. If it's ever opposed, we bring in an attorney.

C · Trademark attorney

~£700–£1,200 all-in

A chartered attorney runs a full clearance search, drafts the spec, files, and handles any objection. The fullest cover — worth it if you also file the logo or add classes.

The steps — start to finish

Confirm the three basics — the mark is "JPR COMBUSTIONS", the owner is J.P.R. Combustions Limited, the class is 37. Confirm the specification wording above.

Choose the route — A, B or C above.

File before the vans go public — submit the application (or approve us to). The filing date is what matters; it locks your priority.

IPO examines (~2 weeks) — they check it and search for conflicting marks. We've already confirmed the heating classes are clear, so a clean pass is expected.

Published for 2 months — a public window for any third-party objection. None expected here.

Registered (~3–4 months total) — you receive the certificate; the mark lasts 10 years and renews every 10 years.

Optional second step — once the name is registered, file the flame logo as a device mark in Class 37 (~£205) to protect the logo itself. Not urgent.

What we need from James

Three quick decisions.

Route — self-file, V360HQ files for you, or attorney? (A / B / C)
Specification — happy with the Class 37 wording above, or any services to add/remove?
Go-ahead on timing — confirm we file before the new livery goes public on the vans.

In one line

File "JPR COMBUSTIONS" as a Class 37 word mark, in the company's name, before the vans go public — about £205, three to four months to register, and the brand becomes a protected asset. Tell us the route and we'll move.
