TRADEMARKS
Trademarks/brands are a vital tool for all successful businesses and can become valuable assets - many companies have been sold on the strength of their brands alone.
We are here to handle matters for you, professionally and cost-effectively.
Our services include:
Brand Selection
Choosing the right brand is key. It is important to get professional advice from a Trade Mark Attorney before you commit yourself to a particular brand, otherwise you could end up wasting money on the wrong brand. We can help you select a brand which will help you build your business and which meets the legal requirements for registration as a trade mark. For more information about our trade mark selection services, please click here.
Once you have chosen your brand, we can carry out clearance investigations to make sure that your chosen brand is free for you to use and does not infringe the earlier rights of another person/company. For more information, please click here.
Trade Mark Registration & Renewals
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. For more information, please click here.
This service sends you an alert when confusingly similar trade marks to your own are filed for application in the UK or worldwide. This is particularly important because it provides you with the opportunity to take action against competing trade marks by using the opposition procedures available in most countries.

Trade Mark Licensing / Franchising Agreements
If you wish to allow others to use your trade mark under licence, or to assign/buy trade mark rights to/from another party, please click here.
Brand Enforcement & Trade Mark Infringement / Dispute Management
If you need to enforce your registration against an infringer, or if you have received a letter before action threatening you with infringement proceedings and require advice, please click here.
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. For more information about our domain names services, please click here.
