If someone is using your brand
We assess your trade mark rights, the other party’s use and the strength of your position. We’ll explain your options, including whether a formal letter, negotiation or further action makes sense, and help you choose a proportionate way forward.
If you’ve received a complaint
Being accused of infringement doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve done anything wrong. We review the claim against your actual use and give you a clear view of your position and options.
Resolving disputes without unnecessary escalation
Court proceedings aren’t always necessary. Depending on the circumstances, a dispute may be resolved through negotiation, a formal letter or another form of dispute resolution. We’ll help you understand the costs, risks and options before deciding whether further action is warranted.
What we look at
Trade mark infringement isn’t simply a question of whether two brands look or sound alike. We’ll consider matters including:
what is actually being used
how the other party is using it
the goods or services involved
the scope of your registered trade mark
whether you have consented to the use
the evidence available to support your position
We’ll then explain what those factors mean for you and what options are available.
