Trademark Law: Intellectual Property Solicitors
In order to ensure your business or organisation’s trademarks are looked after, you need to consult an intellectual property solicitor with specialist knowledge of trademark law.
Trademarks both reflect and generate marketplace recognition for both your business and its key products or services. Failing to look after them is like deciding to build a multi-storey building without first laying down appropriate foundation footings.
To find out why you should be aware of the law relating to trademarks and trademark infringement, call 0845 872 6666 or complete our online enquiry form; your first telephone consultation is free.
Why is Trademark Law Important?
Although unregistered (common law) forms of Intellectual Property do exist, it is hugely important that you take the opportunity to properly register your trademarks and develop a clear trademark, domain name, company and trading name strategy when starting a business or launching a new product.
Failure to register trademarks often results in expensive and highly damaging trademark or domain name disputes and litigation with the power to cause significant loss and damage to your company and its public image.
Is Registering Trademarks a Costly Exercise?
It is a myth that trademark registration is a costly business exercise, particularly when businesses instruct specialist trademark law solicitors with the ability to manage, protect and fully exploit trademarks, domain names, company and trading names as cost-effectively as possible.
The trademark law experts at JMW will:
- Tell you if a trade mark is likely to be available and registerable;
- file all of the necessary UK, CTM and WIPO applications to pursue trade marks anywhere in the world;
- pursue all aspects of trade mark applications, resisting or mounting oppositions and invalidity proceedings and arranging for trade mark watching services;
- arrange for cost-effective trade mark maintenance and renewal.
We also provide legal advice, drafting, negotiation and support for all forms of trademark, domain name, company and trading name acquisition, assignment/transfer and licensing to match your business and organisational needs.
