UK & EU Trade Mark Filing & Prosecution

Unusually for a law firm in the UK, our trade mark prosecution work is overseen by solicitors and specialist lawyers with expert knowledge of trade mark law.

In addition to filing and prosecuting trade mark applications, our Group advises on branding and registered design issues to complement our clients' brand portfolios, in addition to discussing various avenues of protection that might not initially have been considered or realised.

We actively advise our clients on branding strategy. Beginning with the understanding that trade mark and design registrations are only valuable to the extent they serve to implement a company's business strategy, we ensure that our cost-effective advice is focussed and specific to each client. The Group specialises in all aspects of the creation, protection, exploitation and enforcement of brand and design rights, including technology development and collaboration, new brand launches, company name changes, domain name issues, international expansion plans, franchising, licensing and intra-group restructuring for tax benefits.
