Trade marks – Intellectual Property
Our Intellectual Property team advises on all aspects of the law relating to media and intellectual property. This includes copyright, trade marks, design rights and related areas of competition and European law.
Registering a sign as a trademark is a great way of protecting your company name and branding. We can advise you on the many different types of signs, such as words, logos, pictures and shapes that can be registered.
Our trade mark lawyers can advise you as to the likelihood of a sign being registered as a trade mark – and the types of goods and services that your trade mark should cover and then help you through the registration process.
We regularly register trade marks in the UK and in the European Union and can advise you on the best method to replicate any registration around the world.
If someone is applying for a mark that is similar to yours, we can advise you on how to oppose that application, whether by engaging in opposition proceedings or obtaining other forms of protection, such as co-existence agreements.
