North Star had been given UK legal advice that a trade mark would not be achievable for their name.

After initial research and discussions, Untold proposed a strategy whereby we believed it could be achieved through careful trademark class descriptions and advised on how to proceed.

North Star | Untold

I have worked with Steve multiple times over the past 15 years, the last time in his new guise as Untold. I was setting up a new company and had somewhat foolishly named it on a whim. Steve not only created a wonderful brand positioning and imagery for me, but also persuaded me to trademark it. Despite being advised by my UK trademark lawyers that I wouldn't be able to get the trademark, Steve gave me some great advice on how to approach the registration, and we managed to get it away without dispute. Once again, I cannot thank them enough.
