Scribe-Mate® Design Officially Registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office

Scribe-Mate® is proud to announce that the Scribe Jig has been officially recognised as a UK Registered Design (Number 6466309) by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO). This registration confirms that the design of our product is unique and legally protected across the United Kingdom.

What This Means

A registered design protects the visual appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, and overall look. For Scribe-Mate®, this means that the distinct design of our scribing jig is now protected from imitation or unauthorised reproduction.

Only Scribe-Mate® Limited holds the rights to this design, and any attempt to copy or replicate it without permission would be considered a breach of design rights under UK law. This ensures that tradespeople using our jig can be confident they are working with the original, officially recognised Scribe-Mate® design.

Why This Matters

The Scribe Jig was developed with a simple purpose: to make scribing faster, more accurate, and more professional for cabinet, wardrobe, and kitchen fitters. Every line and curve of the design was created with function and precision in mind.

Having our design officially registered by the UK IPO not only recognises that originality, but also strengthens our position as a British brand dedicated to practical innovation in joinery and cabinetry. It is a meaningful milestone for the team behind Scribe-Mate® and for the tradespeople who have supported the product from its earliest prototypes to where it stands today.

Protection and Duration

This registration gives Scribe-Mate® exclusive rights to the design for up to 25 years, provided it is renewed every five years. The first registration period runs until 18 August 2030, and the company intends to maintain protection for the full duration.

Scribe-Mate® is also exploring opportunities to extend this protection internationally, ensuring that the Scribe Jig design remains protected as the brand expands into new markets.

Marking the Product

Customers will now begin to see the following marking on all Scribe-Mate® products, packaging, and materials:

UK Registered Design Number 6466309

This statement identifies the product as a legally protected design and helps prevent counterfeit versions from entering the market. It also reflects Scribe-Mate®’s ongoing commitment to quality, originality, and trust within the trade community.

A Step Forward for Scribe-Mate®

This achievement marks an important step in the growth of Scribe-Mate® Limited. It represents the company’s continued investment in original product design, professional standards, and the needs of the skilled tradespeople who rely on efficient, accurate tools.

The Scribe Jig has already gained strong support among cabinet fitters, kitchen installers, and carpenters who value time-saving accuracy on site. With its design now officially protected, Scribe-Mate® is positioned to continue developing tools that make a real difference to everyday work in the trade.
