Every pound you spend on marketing builds value in your name and logo.
Stopping a copycat without a registration means proving reputation and confusion the hard way, which is slow and expensive.
A registered trade mark gives you a public, renewable right to your mark for the goods and services you registered, enforceable without first having to prove you are well known. It is also an asset that appears on your balance sheet conversations, in investment rounds and in a sale.
Registration secures your rights in a name, logo or slogan.
We help with:
- deciding what to register;
- drafting a specification that covers where the business is going, not only where it is;
- filing at the UK Intellectual Property Office and handling examination objections; and
- renewals and portfolio management.
Registrations run for ten years and we can diarise and handle renewals so a right never lapses quietly.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
