Trade Marks

Oppositions & Enforcement

It is generally preferable to reach an amicable agreement on contentious matters and avoid the cost and uncertainty of proceedings leading to formal court action. However, such occurrences can sometimes be necessary. We provide pragmatic advice from the outset, helping establish and advise on the strength of a position, whether you are considering bringing the action or having to defend an action by a third party.

We support our clients in being proactive, helping to manage and defend their trade marks and brands. We can help identify cases where third parties are attempting to register the same or confusingly similar marks and take action on their behalf to defend against infringement, providing “cease and desist” letters where appropriate.

Should it be necessary to pursue formal court action, we can provide litigation support for trade mark disputes on behalf of our clients.

By actively opposing conflicting trade marks and enforcing their rights, we help our clients safeguard their market position, uphold brand reputation, and preserve the distinctiveness of their products or services.
