Unlock the Hidden Value of Dormant Trademarks
Arcana IP is your specialist partner in identifying, researching, and acquiring valuable UK trademarks from bona vacantia. We turn dormant brand equity into your next competitive advantage.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the preeminent provider in our niche, bridging the gap between dormant, high-potential brand assets and businesses seeking to accelerate growth. We leverage proprietary technology and deep legal expertise to create unique opportunities for our clients while enabling the Crown to realize value for the public good.
A Phased Approach to Acquisition
Our structured, end-to-end service model ensures a streamlined, transparent, and effective process from discovery to ownership.
1. Identification & Research
Using proprietary data tools, we identify dissolved companies and cross-reference them with IP databases to uncover high-potential bona vacantia trademarks.
2. Due Diligence & Valuation
We conduct rigorous due diligence to verify ownership, assess market value, and identify any risks, protecting you from the "as is" nature of the sale.
3. Acquisition from the Crown
Our experts handle the entire acquisition process, from petitioning the BVD to negotiating terms and managing all legal formalities on your behalf.
4. Post-Acquisition Management
We ensure a seamless transition by managing the UKIPO ownership transfer, advising on use requirements, and offering ongoing portfolio management.
