Registration
The registration of trade marks is the cornerstone of our business.
Registration of trade marks is important – it provides a means of enforcing your rights against unauthorised use of your brands (or similar marks) by others, and also a defence against problems that might arise if you do not register and someone else might then acquire “better” rights by way of their own registration. Having regard to the importance of registration, you can be certain that we take our responsibility in ensuring that your brand/s are protected in the best way possible very seriously indeed.
We can register your trade marks at the UK and European Community Registries; by way of the International Register, we can register trade marks on your behalf in all countries that are party to the “Madrid Protocol”; and, through a network of overseas attorneys with whom we have worked for many years, we can attend to registrations in all countries of the world where registration is possible.
It is important to ensure that your trade marks are registered in the most appropriate manner as to provide for the best possible rights, that such registrations are in respect of the most suitable classes of goods and/or services and, having regard to the options as to where registration can now be secured (eg. national Registries, CTM or by way of the International Register), that the most cost-efficient type of registration is chosen - and our job is to ensure that you receive the best possible advice in this regard.
Filing applications, attending to all formalities relating thereto, prosecuting those applications and dealing with any official or third party objections that might arise is second nature to the Partners of our firm. We know what we are doing, we do it without fuss or bother and our aim is to do all of this without ever burdening you unnecessarily. Where applications encounter difficulties we will advise you without “legalise” and we will give clear and concise advice as to how to ensure that your marks are registered.
