The trade marks of quality organisations tend to get misused from time to time by third parties, which can be both irritating and commercially damaging.
Registering a trade mark can:
- prevent someone else using an identical or similar trade mark;
- deter potential infringers;
- enable you to expand your business into new areas without infringing other people's trade marks;
- increase the value of your business to potential purchasers.
We routinely file UK, Community and international trade mark applications.
We also advise on brand selection, trade mark licensing, trade mark disputes and domain name disputes.
Work experience/case studies:
- Advising a leading provider of catering supplies on brand selection, and the registration and licensing of its brands throughout the world.
- Successfully acting for examination awarding bodies in high profile trade mark litigation against a producer of fake examination certificates.
- Advising a major financial services multinational on its corporate re-branding.
