Our team of experienced trade mark lawyers and attorneys can help you register, protect and exploit your intellectual property. We can help with trade marks registered in the UK, the European Union or worldwide.

Trade marking is a way of protecting your intellectual property and commercialising it. Our team can help you throughout the whole lifecycle of your trade mark – from initial registration through to selling it on. We can also help you in cases where there has been a trade mark infringement.

What Is A Trade Mark?

A trade mark is a way of protecting the elements of your brand that make it unique. Common things that are trade-marked are names and logos. But it might also be a sound, a colour or even a shape.

Registering a trade mark means that another person or business can’t copy or closely copy the things that differentiate you from your competitors.

What Trade Mark Services Do We Offer?

There are three main areas where our lawyers can support you:

  1. Filings/applications – our trade mark attorneys can help you register your mark in the country or countries that are important to your business
  2. Commercialisation – we can help you buy, sell, licence or franchise your trade mark (for both pending and granted applications)
  3. Infringements, disputes and enforcement – we can help you enforce your rights if your trade mark has been infringed, or help with other trade mark disputes.

Who Can We Help?

Our trade mark solicitors help individuals and businesses of all sizes - from lone inventors and entrepreneurs, through to multinational businesses.

We can help you with any trade mark issue, whether domestically in the UK, or globally.
