We can advise on how to maximise their potential.

We can file UK trade mark applications, Community Trade Mark (CTM) applications and International trade mark applications. A CTM provides trade mark protection over most of Europe, and is a very cost effective way of obtaining trade mark rights in Europe.

We work with selected firms of overseas trade mark attorneys to register foreign trade marks.

Our trade mark attorneys are experienced at initiating and defending trade mark revocation actions, and initiating and defending trade mark oppositions.

We provide a variety of trade mark searching services, such as infringement clearance searches and trade mark watching searches.

Trade mark watching is performed to monitor whether third parties file trade mark applications which conflict with your trade mark rights. Opposition is a process by which third party trade mark applications can be challenged. Trade mark watching and trade mark oppositions are important because trade marks are becoming increasingly self-policing.

Many things can be registered as trade marks, such as words, logos, pictures, shapes and even colours. We can advise on how your brands and products can be best protected through trade marks. We can also advise on trade mark portfolio management.
