Trademarks
Trademarks/brands are important for most businesses. They are a vital tool for a successful company, and can become valuable assets - many companies have been sold on the strength of their brands alone.
Choosing the right brand is key. We can help you select a brand which will help you build your business, and can carry out clearance investigations to make sure that your chosen brand is free for you to use. We can handle the registration of your trade mark in any country of the world, and we will then look after the maintenance of that registration for as long as the brand remains important to your company.
It is important to get advice before you commit yourself to a particular brand, otherwise you could end up wasting money on the wrong brand. We offer new clients brief preliminary advice in our weekly free clinic - call 01522 801111 or e-mail us for details.
If you need to enforce your registration against others, allow others to use your trade mark under licence, or ensure that other companies do not dilute your rights under your registration, we are here to handle matters for you, professionally and cost-effectively.
Many people think that registering a domain name affords protection. This is looking at things the wrong way round! If you own a registered trademark, you will be in a much stronger position to defend your domain names, and if you get into a domain name dispute, ownership of the trademark can be vital. We can help you design a domain name policy that maximises the value of your holdings and minimises the costs.
