+# IGNEUM trademark filing pack (4 October 2026)
+
+Three marks, three offices, three classes. File the word mark first; it is the strongest and needs no image.
+
+## The marks
+
+| Mark | Type | File | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| IGNEUM | Word mark, standard characters | none, type the word | Covers the name in any font, colour or case. File this everywhere. |
+| The flame | Device (figurative) mark | `IGNEUM-device-mark-black.jpg` | Filed in black and white, which in UK and EU practice covers every colour. Do not file the orange version as the main mark; attach it only if the office asks for the colour used. |
+| Flame + IGNEUM | Combined mark | `IGNEUM-combined-mark.jpg` | Optional third filing. Adds little once the first two are registered; file it only if the budget allows. |
+
+Mark description for the device, when a form asks: "A stylised flame formed of two angular polygons, the upper a pointed crystal shape with a diamond cut-out at its centre, the lower a wide V-shaped base."
+
+## Applicant
+
+The new UAE steward decided on 3 October 2026, the ADGM DLT Foundation being set up for the name, the domains, the
+signing key and the client fee income. NOT [other-business]: a [other-business] filing would tie Igneum to VIVA and to its owner
+through public registers, which the standing rule forbids. The foundation's registered office is the applicant
+address, with a trademark attorney as the address for service, so no personal address appears anywhere. If the
+foundation is not incorporated the week you want to file, the attorney can file in the attorney firm's name as nominee
+and assign on incorporation; ask for that rather than filing under any existing company.
+
+## Classes and specifications (Nice classification, 12th edition wording)
+
+**Class 9** (software): Downloadable computer software for mining, validating and securing a blockchain; downloadable software for cryptocurrency wallets; downloadable software for generating and verifying cryptographic proofs; downloadable software for operating nodes of a distributed ledger network; downloadable mobile applications for sending, receiving and storing digital tokens; computer programs for distributed computing.
+
+**Class 36** (financial): Financial services, namely providing a digital currency and a digital token for use by members of an online community via a global computer network; cryptocurrency exchange services; cryptocurrency payment processing; electronic transfer of digital tokens; financial information relating to blockchain networks.
+
+**Class 42** (technology services): Providing online non-downloadable software for operating a blockchain; software as a service featuring software for verifying cryptographic proofs; design and development of computer software for distributed ledger technology; providing a decentralised computing platform; technical consultancy relating to blockchain technology; hosting of a blockchain network; computer security services, namely cryptographic proof generation and verification.
+
+## Where and what it costs (approximate, official fees only, October 2026)
+
+| Office | Fee for three classes | Route | Examination time |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| UK IPO | £170 for the first class plus £50 each further class, about £270 per mark online (Right Start is £100 plus £25 per class up front, then the balance) | gov.uk "apply to register a trade mark" | 4 to 6 months, 2-month opposition window |
+| EUIPO | €850 for one class, €50 for the second, €150 for each further class, about €1,050 per mark | euipo.europa.eu e-filing | 4 to 6 months, 3-month opposition window |
+| USPTO | $350 per class electronic, about $1,050 per mark | uspto.gov TEAS; a US-licensed attorney is mandatory for a foreign applicant | 8 to 12 months; needs proof of use before registration or an intent-to-use basis |
+
+Two marks (word and device) in three offices is about £5,000 in official fees plus the attorney. Word mark alone in all three is about £2,200.
+
+## The obstacle, and the plan for it
+
+UK registration UK00918212492 IGNIUM in classes 9, 36 and 42 (the memo of 3 October 2026). File IGNEUM anyway: the examiner notifies the IGNIUM owner but does not refuse on relative grounds in the UK; the EUIPO likewise leaves it to the owner to oppose. In parallel, check the IGNIUM registration's filing date; if it is more than five years old and the mark is not in genuine use for those goods, file a non-use revocation (UK IPO form TM26(N), £200), which clears the path. The attorney should run a fresh clearance search for IGNEUM in the three classes in each office the week of filing.
+
+## Order of work
+
+1. Attorney engaged, with [other-business]'s details and the address for service.
+2. Word mark IGNEUM filed in the UK, EU and US the same week (US on an intent-to-use basis).
+3. Device mark filed in the UK and EU; US device filing after the word mark is accepted.
+4. Non-use revocation against IGNIUM if the dates allow.
+5. Use ™ on the site and the apps from now; ® only after registration in that country.
