Intellectual Property
Brand, reputation and intellectual property affect every business. It is crucial for any business to manage and strategically exploit their brand to maximise capitalisation.
Instruct us today so that we can help you manage the risks involved and get the most out of your IP. We represent all types of business, from large multinational companies to small and medium-sized businesses.
What services do we offer?
Trademarks allow your business the opportunity to distinguish your brand from competitors in the industry as well as creating a value in your business through your trademark. We can assist you in determining what to protect and apply for UK registration of your brand in the form of a registered trademark. A trademark can be registered for your brand name and/or logo. We will also address any objections that the Intellectual Property Office or any potential competitors may submit to ensure that you get the protection you need.
After your trademark has been registered you will be able to put the symbol ® next to your brand and take legal action against any individual or business who uses your brand without your permission, including counterfeiters.
Our specialist intellectual property lawyers specialise in resolving disputes and enforcing your rights. We resolve most matters out of court with the issuing and responding to cease-and-desist letters (also known as letters before action) at a fixed and affordable fee. Should your matter not resolve in the pre issue stage then we have the experience and expertise to minimise risks and use our litigation experience to help you seek justice. We can also seek injunctions to force the other side to stop their infringement of your IP rights.
We also offer assistance in commercialising your intellectual property. We can help you to buy or sell the right to use brands as well as offer advice on franchising your brand. We can explore options such as transferring full ownership of your IP rights or using a licence to allow use without changing ownership – we will advise on what’s best for you.
