HowTech is now a registered UK trade mark
Our name is now formally protected for the technology services at the heart of our business.
We are pleased to announce that HowTech has been entered on the UK trade mark register. Registration UK00004402448 was filed on 15 June 2026 and entered on the register on 4 September 2026. It is owned by Howell Technology Ltd, the company behind HowTech®.
The registration marks an important point in our growth. HowTech began as the name for a small, expert-led consultancy. It now represents a growing UK team delivering technology strategy, cyber security, software development and practical support to SMEs nationwide.
What the registration covers
HowTech is registered in Class 42, covering the services that define our work:
Technology services
Information technology services delivered under the HowTech name.
IT consultancy
Information technology consulting services for organisations making important technology decisions.
Software solutions
The development of computer software application solutions.
Why formal protection matters
A trade mark helps clients identify who they are dealing with. It distinguishes our work from businesses with similar names and gives Howell Technology Ltd formal rights to protect the HowTech name within the registered services.
The registration protects the identity behind our work – the people, standards and experience clients associate with HowTech.
What changes for our clients
Day to day, nothing changes. Clients still work directly with the same UK-based team and receive the same independent, expert-led advice. The registration simply gives the name behind that work clearer legal protection as the business grows.
HowTech remains the trading name of Howell Technology Ltd, registered in England and Wales. You can read more about the company, our team and our approach on our About page.
Protecting the HowTech identity
The HowTech name, logo and wordmark may not be used without prior written permission. Full registration details are recorded in the trade marks section of our legal and privacy information.
