Sternyoung Reviews 

I deeply regret using Stern Young. In my experience, there was no need to use a third-party renewal service, as UK trade mark renewals can be completed directly through the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) at a fraction of the cost. The official government website provides straightforward guidance on renewing a trade mark yourself.

I felt that the costs and the distinction between the official renewal fee and Stern Young's separate service charges were not made sufficiently clear. Had I understood this from the outset, I would never have used their service.

Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering using Stern Young to first visit the official IPO website and compare the costs before making a decision. I am pursuing the matter through the appropriate legal channels because I believe consumers should have complete transparency about the options available to them and this company does not provide this information.

Received an unexpected letter from them saying my trademark was about to expire and asking me to sign the document and pay them £1320 for renewal, they also reproduced my trademark logo (without my express permission on the letter they sent me)
Put their junk mail in the crosscut shredder and simply renewed the trademark myself using the gov.uk website, only cost £245

Same experience as others. They write to you a few weeks before you can actually renew the mark, meaning they know you haven't yet been informed by the IPO that it needs to be done, offering a service for an extortionate fee. Absolute leeches.

I also got the letter I knew it was a legalised scam immediately but the more people that register this with trustpilot the more likely it will get noticed

Absolute scammers! Got a junk letter saying they would renew my trademark for 10 years - for £1,320! It costs £245...

Sent me a trademark renewal, adding £1,000 to the cost of an actual renewal. Have used my personal address, which is not attributed to my trademark.

DO NOT USE this scam comapny.

Sadly I can't give a zero star as otherwise I would.
They sent a trade mark renewal letter a few months before the 10 year renewal telling me they'd be happy to renew this for £ 1860.- +VAT thinking I'm stupid enough to fall for this.

Renewal through Gov.uk is just a couple of hundred punds depending on the number of classes.

So avoid this rip of company

Received a spam letter.
They're charging 10 X more than trademarks costs.
Emailed them to say respectfully no.
Received a rude response.

They want to charge you £1,320 to renew your trademark when it's easy and inexpensive to do it directly on the UK goverment renew-your-trademark website.

One star is too much for this filthy scammer. Ignore all requests from them to renew your trademarks, you can do it yourself for £200 on the gov uk website.

SCAM!!!! AVOID ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY

Trademark scam.

They send trademark renewal letters/reminders which look genuine but they are all fake and scam.

Please avoid and discard any communication received from them.

Obvious scam or fraudsters. They sent my company a letter about trademark expiry coming up and fee to renew & monitor £1,320. It only costs £200 to renew and very misleading & deceitful company. Avoid at all costs

I got a letter saying my trademark is about to expire and a fee of £1320 to do it for me. I checked the letter was early. Thanks for the reminder. I will be going straight to the Government trade mark site and renew for £200 instead of paying this scam company to do it.

Sending letters (containing multiple errors!) about expiring trademarks. Total scam from start to finish. DO NOT part with your money!

I received an official looking notification from Stern Young & Partners to renew a single trademark for a fee of £1320. To do this directly on the website of the UK Intellectual Property Office costs £200.

Do it yourself online and save yourself £1120.

Looks like a (completely legal) scam - you can Google warnings about just this sort of company, and how they parasite off legal processes.

Anagram and Young. Not one review advises who these parasites should be reported to but at least the Stern gang are not blowing us up, just hollowing out our resources.

Total scam artists... disregard and just use Govt website to renew your trademark

Dodgy company sending letters out demanding £1320 fee to renew my registered trademarks that would cost me £300 to do it myself online.
