Trade Marks

Your brand is an integral part of who you are. It is also one of your business’ most valuable assets.  It is therefore vital you protect all of these assets against potential misuse. 

One way to establish that level of protection is to register a trade mark in the countries that are important to you.  Generally trade mark rights are registered on a country-by-country basis but you can also choose to file a European Union trade mark (EUTM) - formerly known as a Community trade mark (CTM) - which will offer you protection throughout the EU. 

The majority of our team have come from senior positions within large multinational law firms so offer substantial experience in handling UK and EUTM applications and oppositions in the same areas.  

We know every client’s needs are different so we are dedicated to being totally flexible in terms of workflow and billing so that you always receive exactly what you need in the way that suits you best. 

Our trade mark attorneys have a wealth of experience in relation to the protection and registration of trade marks in a large number of fields including: beverage, tobacco, food, confectionery, film and TV, entertainment, pharmaceutical, financial, automobile, engineering, publishing, software and hardware, insurance, food, consumer products and aeronautical industries.
